Forking anything is hard and forking Bitcoin is designed to be particularly difficult, so regardless of technical merit, the odds were stacked against BCH being able to supplant BTC.

To me it seems much more likely that another, unrelated cryptocurrency will eventually fulfill the role BTC was originally intended for.

Turns out it wasn't. Bitcoin Cash was created and now has the same properties Bitcoin had years ago. Fast peer-to-peer transactions. Low processing fees. Its price also seems to suggest that the fork was a success. I think people will soon realise this.
