I guess it comes down to hype. Ethereum has gone up to over $2,000 in price. It is great for those that can invest a great deal, but for small retail investors? Gas prices for small transactions are much too expensive. This is supposed to change in July with EIP, but we will have to see.

It looks to me from reading your post that you are bullish on BCH if I am interpreting correctly. For me? I will just stick with HIVE and its tokens for now.
