>Ethereum also had an ICO (paid in Bitcoin) and it delivered.

According to the SEC it was also an illegal offering of a security, and its receiving special treatment bc they considered it to have matured and no longer be considered a security, therefore grandfathered its grandfathered in unlike any other ICO.

No one else is going to have the good fortune of being able to offer an unregistered security then mature into a non-security with the SEC acting first.

ETH is more of a commodity than a share in some enterprise.
