Bitcoin confirmed 2.2k transactions with a fee of 1 sat/B this month while Bitcoin Cash confirmed 135k

Even if it is practical to compare fees in US dollars, technically we should be thinking in terms of the amount of satoshi per byte it costs to confirm a transaction on the blockchain fast and reliably.

The minimum fee you can pay in both chains is one satoshi per byte (1 sat/B), but it is much more likely to have that transaction confirmed in the blockchain using Bitcoin Cash than using Bitcoin. The Bitcoin Cash blockchain contains 61 times the amount of 1-satoshi-per-byte transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain during this month.

It is clear why some people choose to use Bitcoin Cash instead of Bitcoin.
