Why is Bitcoin the predominant one among different forks, such as Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SegWit2X?

Is it because Bitcoin is the most original one? Does it have to do with its price? Or does it have to do with its broad, generic name? Or because it's more widely adopted by many companies? In other words, is there some sort of complicated blockchain technology that will always make the Bitcoin most predominant one among different forks regardless of any circumstances? Is it theoretically possible for forks like Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin SegWit2X to be more predominant than Bitcoin in the future? I don't know much about blockchain technology and I wonder if it's ever related to the fact that Bitcoin's the most predominant one.
Bitcoins is most famous among other forks,  it has nothing to do with others,  it's just that it is first introduced in the market. It's just a matter of market share, merchant acceptance, amount of exchanges.  Bitcoin is continously growing the reason people prefer it more than others.  Because bitcoin is older one.  Bitcoin is continously growing. Its prices fluctuates more than others cryptocurrencies.  Bitcoin is famous and has large investment than other crypto currencies.
