I had no idea why the supply was so high. Just thought it was during the wave of ridiculously high coin supply coin launches. At least there was some logic behind it, though I think it needs to stay in a realm where the value can be measured in multiple sats.. otherwise, any coin doubles and halve in price every day, which is difficult to put a real price on... yes, I know there are other markets for better granularity (LTC, etc), but BTC rules the roost for now and the foreseeable future for giving a coin it's 'worth'.
And what if the price of Bitcoin rises? You should not make yourself depend on other blockchains. We can't reduce the coin supply by a tenfold each time Bitcoin increases by a tenfold. Even if Bitcoin is the base market, it is still unpredictable. I don't see any reason why people wouldn't use the Litecoin market.
