No, you could not do that as cheaply on Ethereum directly. Do you know why? Because there is massive demand for Ethereum blockchain space because it actually gets used by people, thus the higher gas fees. This is the whole 'No one drives in New York because the traffic is so bad' argument.
However, the future (in my opinion but time will tell) is not having your everyday individual interact directly with Etheruem, but by using things like Optimism (just released on Uniswap a couple days ago and runs with tiny fees and instantly), Arbitrum and the like, then having those rollups settled directly on Ethereum after the fact. This way you get low fees and the high speed on the layer 2 side, but the security of the Ethereum blockchain directly. There will still be some large organizations/whales perhaps who will be willing to pay the high gas fees to interact directly with Ethereum, but there won't be much of a need for people to do so (as we are already seeing).
I'll finish again though by stating that if you're all on board the Bitcoin train still then all the power to you. I wish you well as I think there is lots of room in the space for Bitcoin to retain a spot as a store of value long term, and that alone is enough for it to be worth something. You're not alone. Jack Dorsey still thinks there is hope for actually using Bitcoin for things like Defi (

Anyhow, I wish you well. It could be worse. You could be a Cardano supporter (I kid, I kid .... kind of).
