It's one of the reasons why I like HIVE. No transactions fees internally. The only issue we pay for in P2P transactions is that we have to trust the other party. In an exchange, they take the place of the trustee and the fee is used to pay them for doing the transactions for you.

For example if you use LeoDex to transfer HIVE to HE, the fee is 0.25%. You could save on this fee by trading someone HIVE in your wallet and that person sending you an equivalent of SWAP.HIVE on HE. The biggest issue in this is the trust between both parties. So in this type of way, I understand the need for fees so long as it is small enough. But a fee like that in ETH is ridiculous and makes zero sense for small players.
