The fairer comparison might be between services intended and hyped for mass public use. In that respect the nine year old Bitcoin protocol and its much hyped offspring and first nine years of the "information superhighway" world wide web are, to put it mildly, not comparable in a manner remotely flattering to crypto. And crypto had the web as a vector to push adoption and didn't require a high proportion of users to buy their first personal computer.
Sure, Ethereum will definitely have more things built on it, and attract new users and in all likelihood become more user friendly. But if you can write or evaluate bulletproof code, resolve oracle problems and trust the token's value to remain stable you can automate some transactions without third parties isn't a proposition as obviously universally appealing once bandwidth and adoption is there as anyone can be given access to anything that can be shared on a computer anywhere, any time.
