When we are going to compare both on a daily basis or in adoption I think Bitcoin will win because majority of countries around the world embrace Bitcoin as an investment and as a payment method rather than Ethereum. Institutional investors and famous Billionaires choose Bitcoin rather than Ethereum.
Bitcoin is simply the king of crypto while ethereum is the place to deploy new ideas and concepts. There have been many projects running on the ethereum blockchain already which make the network stagnant. And as you say, most of people will choose bitcoin rather than ethereum due to bigger adoption and larger marketcap. After all, bitcoin will always be the strongest cryptocurrencywhy do many use the ethereum platform instead of bitcoin? because if you use the bitcoin platform transaction fees will be more expensive.
Look at now that Ethereum's transaction fees are starting to get expensive too, many new tokens that have sprung up are no longer using the Ethereum platform anymore.
now many are using the TRX-20 and BSC-20 platforms.
Because of what?
because transaction fees are cheaper compared to the ethereum platform.
