With the exception of Ordinals, nobody's using Taproot for anything significant so there is an argument to be made that future Bitcoin protocol feature upgrades will become less and less important to users than say, Segwit.
That's an unfair thing to say because you have to consider that many of the major wallets (that have lots of users) like Electrum have not yet implemented Taproot which is why the usage is low not because it is less important to users. In fact there is high enough demand for it but the end-user has trouble using it easily.
Well, eventually people of course will be using Taproot in the long run, but I am talking about side projects branching from the bitcoin protocol such as DLCs, LN, and others and not the percentage of people that are using a particular address format.
A software that's supposed to embody digital money, even if it will constantly get upgrades, will have only a subset of its features being used by the mass population in the long run as people generally
do not adapt to new versions of a particular technology quickly.
Hence why most people are using an older phone when today's counterculture begs you to get the latest phone.
Or why people continue to use cards, cash and checks instead of CDBCs (and will stay like that for the foreseeable future)
Or even why people continue to use bitcoin despite there being 100+ hot garbage coins that are more recent and could be used instead.
