Currencies are a "winner takes most" game. There will always be a second, but why settle for 2nd place?

Interesting choice of words there. Nothing out there really competes with Bitcoin in any serious way but there are other blockchain based projects such as Helium that has real utility and that I find really innovative.

There are so many other networks that are faster and better than on chain Bitcoin... Lightning, extremely difficult to compete with, I'd agree. But those tx's still get put on chain at some point... And the Blockchain is slow, inconsistent, and fee sizing is volatile which is why so many actually avoid using Bitcoin in favor of other cryptos.

The tx’s get broadcast eventually but ideally there’s rarely need to close a channel at all and most users won’t be running their own node anyway so they won’t have to deal with the base layer at all.
Bitcoin is “slow” by design. Lightning fixes the variable time and cost it takes to send a transaction. All the other “faster” blockchains all make trade offs in terms of decentralization and security and they all have some sort of governing entity. Oh, and don’t get me started on PoS.
