This is ok. We always knew that high fees would come, which is why we built Lightning.
Most people don’t need to open/close channels more than once a year, the stabler Lightning implementations become the less you’ll need to close channels.
If you think this is a problem you are deluded. If you use a credit card you have more fees per month than a node costs in a year. Just because you don’t see it on your credit card statement doesn’t mean you don’t pay it.
