I'm wondering why the fees for ETH are so high. Is it because of the demand or the complexity of the transactions? I'd like to understand the reasons behind this.

This increase in fees is primarily attributed to network congestion, where a large number of transactions compete for limited block space.

Complex transactions, particularly those involving smart contracts or decentralized applications, tend to require more gas and therefore contribute to higher fees.

The dynamic nature of Ethereum's fee structure also plays a role in the fluctuating costs. The base fee, which adjusts based on network congestion, adds another layer of unpredictability to gas prices.
