So does the miner on the BTC chain (even more), The difference is that there aren't technically illiterate idiots who claiming the transaction is safe on the BTC side.
Not quite. Not during rush hour, when the upwards bidding war ensues. And don't get me wrong, a "fee market" already existed. It's good that there is one. But it was never intended to push the minimum fees up.
It's interesting that you would note that "technically illiterate idiots" don't exist on the other side. How was this accomplished if you don't mind?
The Bitcoin Cash developer teams know full well that a confirmed transaction is safer. That's not the point. The point is that even transactions without confirmations can be made safe enough, so that ordinary merchants or users can send transactions and not have to worry about long waiting times.
These "technically illiterate idiots" as you call them, such as Peter Rizun, Andrew Stone and Gavin Andresen, understand the difference. There are also suggestions to improve on 0-conf transactions further, making them both safer and also simplifying risk assessment by adding "mini" blocks for quicker high probability confirmations.
