Original question:
Why would anyone need to compete with Bitcoin on it's own chain if their coin is better?
you can't seize control when there's no one in control to seize it from. The miners and node operators are ultimately responsible for securing the network.
You're deliberately conflating control of the network with control of the code base, to derail discussion of this aspect of reality you dislike.
I'm not the one conflating things.
Unfortunately for you, here's the evidence of your shit talking.
I ask a question about in-chain protocol competition.
You go on to answer (in bold also) a completely different question, because you couldn't come up with a lie that could be related to the question I asked. So quit pretending you've got me on the defensive, you're the one manipulating and lying
