The problem is that Bitcoin miners and investors have a huge incentive to keep the status quo.

Bitcoin is no longer the scrappy renegade alternative currency. It's big business now, with big institutional money behind it. The investors in these Bitcoin businesses do not want to see Bitcoin fall out of favor, and they're going to do everything in their power to keep it popular and profitable to mine.

And let's face it - all the projects being built on crypto which can cause it to grow much further cannot be built on Bitcoin in the first place.
