ELI5 what happens when bitcoins stop being generated?

So my understanding is that people mining the coins is what gives this decentralised system the computing power to process these transactions/log changes in the ledger.
If that is the case, when btc are no longer being generated, do we not lose the incentive to contribute (with computer power) to the process?
I feel like I must be derping on some logic I've missed or something?
