If the Step is still there, the POTUS is going to remove it for good measure. The Nepalese people will pay for the cost.

i think most of us would love to have the chance to just be on that mountain if we could. I think that the business of running non climbers to the summit and back via a semi permanent network of camps, fuel and food dumps and fixed lines is unfortunate, but it fills a need

But honestly, if somebody gave me a ticket for one of those deluxe, guided cattle drives to the summit id jump on it in a heartbeat, so sanctimony on my part would be unseemly
