It has been a while since altseason has occurred and I don't know the reason behind it. Perhaps it is because people are aware that BTC is the main product of cryptocurrencies and other things are nothing more than pure speculation. If altseason occurs, countless people will win, because they probably have big bags.
I agree that now cryptocurrency is used mainly for speculation. That is why DEX are popular now, but DEX needs liquidity. To provide liquidity such liquidity pools like

Liquidity is important for all kinds of exchanges including DEX. Now the competition among DEX are so high that win that game that have more liquidity.
