Monero’s mild technological advantages in some areas don’t clearly outweigh the other advantages of using Bitcoin.

It isn't really a rating of mild/hot/atomic advantages, it's one offers fungibility and privacy and the other is a public ledger--they have vastly different design goals that will separate them more and more over time.

Monero is super great but would have trouble scaling to bitcoin levels of transactions. I hope they continue to develop it as people begin to consider it more.

How so? The blocksize and fees automatically adjust. The blockchain will get bigger, but as I understand it, there are some theoretical ways to trim some of it. Supposedly trimming isn't a big priority because the theory is that storage capabilities will grow along with the blockchain.

Are you referring to some technological advantages of Bitcoin, or the fact that it is more widespread?
