It’s more difficult to use and build light clients for. Importing a private key requires a full rescan unless you remember when you created the key in order to rebuild your balance and limited history. It’s relative unpopularity compared to bitcoin means the network effect is weaker. And major exchanges like Coinbase and Gemini fear regulatory impact so it’s less supported.

That said Monero is my favorite cryptocurrency :)

From my understanding the reasons it is difficult to adopt are also some of the reasons it's inherently the most secure / anonymous cryptocurrency.
