The reason why bitcoin has missed these innovations is because some bitcoiners, trash new innovations by always calling them scammy or leveling other judgmental critiques. Getting the community outside of the follower mentality and convincing them to accept the possibility of innovation through multiple implementations will provide the network and ecosystem with the room to grow and thrive.
I am totally agreeing with this statement.
Many of Bitcoin enthusiast(pioneers), Miners, Developers, Users etc. are too afraid of changes even though it is for a common good(not all of course).
I know that many of us is skeptical about things that is new but other people tend to pretend to be concern just for the sake of their own, what I mean is the political side behind the Bitcoin's growth because many speakers or with positions make themselves or acting like they are in charge and they know what will happen if they implement this or that and at the end there is no better solutions that is being implemented.
I Think this is the downside of being decentralized.
