Counterparty eventually adopted the EVM, and yet could not get traction for multiple reasons:

1. Network effects already on Ethereum

2. Bitcoin block time too slow and block size too low

3. Counterparty uses Bitcoin as a data layer, but Bitcoin itself cannot recognize Counterparty transactions, so Bitcoin consensus does not secure Counterparty transactions.
