Is the fee to make it less attractive to get it for self voting?

Not sure how it would stop self voting, in my mind it would increase it. If you have spent money to get the delegation, then you'll probably want to get that money back.

If you have a good project then it ought to be possible to raise 100 SBD across some Steemians.

Maybe, however the point still stands that it shouldn't be so cost prohibitive.

I know it's a lot in many places, but some people make that much in a few days.

Well exactly. So we could have a scenario of 2 great projects, however one is based in Lahore, the other in New York. The NYC project can easily raise 100 SBD, the Lahore project can barely scrape together 5 SBD, so New York wins simply because it has greater spending power.

I dunno man, that just doesn't seem fair to me.

PS: Thanks for your support and comments. Much appreciated!
