Bitcoin is a new monetary experiment with a predictable and hard-cap max supply. It's great and full of innovation, but it's not the only experiment that's new and worth trying.

with a uniquely fair coin distribution of 1 coin per second forever.

An emission equal across time creates a time-cap max supply which is both predictable and new too. It's also a lot simpler and more intuitive because it does away with halvings.

A lot of complexity resides in its Bitcoin Script language

I think a big drawback here is the social side of it. Everyone's focused on experiments that improve the system by adding new op codes and very few try to improve it under today's constraints. This in turn creates politics and conflicts around which op codes should be added which I don't find particularly productive.
