Because is also much more technically complex than Bitcoin. Also none of them are solving real problems, but ETH has the capability to become that with DApps, once the current generation of politicians die and the next one, that is more technically capable will replace them. Going to be at least another decade before that happen though.

The problem Bitcoin solves is creating a non-sovereign store of value that can't be manipulated/inflated by governments and central banks. That's a problem worth solving.
Bitcoin started with smart contracts on day one, but the focus has been on robustness. However, there's plenty of work going on with layer 2 and side chains to for DApps, etc.
