I think it's because bitcoin is essentially useless as a currency. It was a great proof of concept, but in reality the throughput of the network will never come anywhere close to being able to handle a reasonable number of transactions per second. Minor improvements might be made, but bitcoin will never overcome the fundamental problems around the proof of work approach to blockchain.

Ethereum does a bit better, but is also nowhere near capable of being a real currency.

Hive is a good candidate to be a useful currency, and so is EOS. The capabilities of the chains are just so much higher.
