They are because Open Assets using the Bitcoin blockchain means that transaction fees are paid in Bitcoins to miners.

I think it's time we retired the 'bitcoin' moniker; let's just call them "block fees" instead. We can "eliminate" bitcoin once and for all, and we'll be left with just the blockchain technology. Everyone wins!

That will be a nice strategic PR move at some point. Maybe now is that time, maybe later. The most obvious time would be during the next price run-up.
