It was just the best alternative we had for thousands years. It requires time for people to see that there is a far better alternative now.
As a store of value bitcoin wins, just maths. If you want to benefit from monero privacy then you can cross swap a transaction back and forth. Or use other technics on bitcoin like coinjoin + lightning. Others will come.
I am from those who thinks that privacy should take place on layer 2+ and layer one should be fully transparent.
Also Monero is far too centralized compared to bitcoin. There is no privacy without a strong security.
