A project is driven by it's community and the BTC community isn't the best in blockchain. It's more like the USSA of the crypto-sphere. BTC have a history of hostility toward protocol level upgrades. They debated for 2 years about a simple block size increase (while Dash handled it all in a matter of days.)
I don't think BTC will ever catch up. It's like expecting United States to become like Singapore/Switzerland/Estonia. Theoretically possible; but won't happen.
