Can the improvements be made on the protocol when the bitcoin system is being used more intensively in the future?

Visa doesn't print money only processes the transactions but bitcoins are generated during the process, there is a huge difference.
I don't know why people compare these things.
If segwit activates more than 7 can be done.

No. Today bitcoin can not handle 7 tx per second (in average).
The information in wiki is outdated.

Can this value be increased when the bitcoin system is used more intensively in the future? Is such a change needed? If there is such a requirement, can the protocol be improved?

Yes, it can be increased. Larger blocks, SegWit, lightning are methods of doing so.  There are lots of options.

Needed? That is a question you'd get many different answers to, depending on who you ask.

Transactions in the Bitcoin system are confirmed for a minimum of 10 minutes. So the transactions like visa does not have to be confirmed immediately.
Could such a change have not been made due to these features?
