There will be a fee market to support it specially as the time chain becomes used as a time stamping tool or even as a server whitelist to filter out spam. Imagine an email server that only accepts emails from servers that can cryptographically sign a wallet with $100M+ in BTC that would essentially filter out every bad actor in the network. many other use cases that would drive up fees haven't even been thought of including in layers.

Imagine someone in 1994 trying to think of the all the businesses being built on the internet in 2025.

It's just too early for this to be relevant, however even if you assume a very modest 5% growth in the fee market you can see miner revenue eventually explodes and goes way beyond what block rewards can generate.

The future of mining is going to be a mix of public and private sector with the several mixed industries using BTC mining for different purposes such as stabilizing the grid and also yes governments will run miners as a matter of national security too.

If a market for fee does not support a robust mining network that keeps Bitcoin safe then we're probably looking at a fork of the network. In which case however much bitcoin you have gets copied along with your wallets and addresses onto the new network,

The scenario where bitcoin just dies is basically impossible as the network is a living and breathing entity that responds to threats.
