I switched because the fees for ILR are very expensive whereas Settled Status is free.

You could have qualified/can qualify for British citizenship much earlier.
I'm guessing probably because the rules and paperwork around the Ancestry visa are easier to comply with and probably the easiest immigration pathway in the UK Immigration system that I can think of.

However, exercise of Treaty Rights has recently (in the past two-three weeks) been made a condition for applying for British citizenship.
You may be required to prove that treaty rights were exercised by the EEA citizen in the five years preceding the date of application for British citizenship, in addition to having Settled Status.
