Unfortunately network effect is HUGE when it comes to the internet. Just because you can code a superior internet, doesn't mean people will move to it en masse.

All networks have a lifespan. Some of those lifespans are longer than ours. But there will come a day when another user-facing network supersedes the internet.
Many "superior internets" will have lived and died before then, so your statement holds. But progress depends on someone who doesn't resign themselves to failure.
