Very strange thing i noticed: most people like to buy with bitcoin , but using altcoins very few

I think all clients i had from bitcointalk prefer to use bitcoin to buy services / products they needed ...

Not a single client that i had until now used altcoins like ethereum ,litecoin etc or tokens like usdt,usdc ....

Why do you think people don't like to use altcoins to buy things on the internet ?

You are stating something different than what I have seen. I agree most people are buying bitcoins and then storing it but they are also buying altcoins but they are using it on availing services for the reason of cheaper transaction fee and also for quicker confirmation so that they can start looking to things other than getting stuck and waiting for their payments to get confirmation.

Different people must be having different perception on bitcoin and altcoin usage; the people you have watched might be using the services where no altcoins is being accepted. Or, for bitcoin payments, they might be getting some bigger discounts compared to altcoin payments. These are the things which makes people to go using bitcoin rather than using fiats or altcoins.

I also believe that it is much cheaper and faster to make payments in altcoins. It is obvious that BTC is calculated by those who do not have altcoins at their disposal. And this is due to the fact that altcoins have lost much more of their price than bitcoin.

these are all valid points.
good to remember too that there are theories that if we can't scale a solution like lightining than it'll be better to use altcoins as a mean of payment and keeping the king BTC only as store of value,
which makes sense too.
