No, if sender and receiver have an attached wallet, we will try to use real sats first
Lightning network is an ocean, liquidity and fees change all the time.
Base fees hurt more for small payments. Basically every payment on lightning has a percentage fee on it (like 1 sat per 1000 sats) + a base fee (usually 1 sat).
For example, Phoenix takes 4 sat + 0.4% for every payment, see here.
It's a free market, so yes, wallets can do what they want. You're a customer and you have to vote with your feet.
