That was the reason for the fork of Bitcoin Cash, and indeed BCH blocks are bigger and fees are much smaller. But BTC is still inexplicably way more popular.
Value of technology is not why people aggregate towards Bitcoin.
Otherwise it would've been long superseded by other chains.
Bitcoiners still arguing about the solidity of the network guaranteed by so much mining, yet virtually all the mining is in the hands of few specialized operations all knowing each other (so it's not really decentralized) and despite Ethereum proving new protocol to be a valid and safe alternative.
None of Bitcoin cultists at the end of the day understood that it wasn't about algorithms nor computers, but consensus among people.
And that consensus voted to have Bitcoin, the oldest and least technologically developed chain to be the "store of value" of cryptocurrencies.
