Compelling argument. Exactly none of your points addressed the technical merits of either coin.

Here's one that I think a lot of people seem to overlook.

Darkcoin is forked from Bitcoin v0.10.

That means that anything created for Bitcoin can be easily adopted for Darkcoin.

Mycellium
Trezor
Electrum
Openbazaar
Darkleaks
Etc...

Monero doesn't have the luxury of being able to use some of these great projects that have been in development for years.

Having most of the base work already completed is a major advantage for Darkcoin.

Actually, that works the other way around propulsion. Think of it this way: Bitcoin has had people build that infructaure around it, they built all those things for profit and to be the dominant companies/people in that field(like coinbase is trying to be for regulated exchanges, etc). The reason why bitcoin has all those things built around it is many other things in life are based around, To gain Money/Profit.

If a coin that doesn't possess the same underlying code as Bitcoin reaches heights where it's being used continually for buying/selling, then that infrastructure that was built around Bitcoin would happen to said coin as people compete to be the dominant leaders of whatever infrastructure they build around said coin.
