Centralized is bad that's why Bitcoin was created, then years later Ripple is a centralized company with a centralized blockchain was created to bring us back to centralization.
Ripple fans don't want to admit a root cause of Bitcoin creation and existence that are to change the world from centralization to decentralization, and to bring more freedom, privacy to people on Earth.
Faster and cheaper in a coin price as well as transaction fee don't mean too much with people who care about anonymity and privacy.
Ripple is even not in this comparison, it is not a Proof of Work blockchain.
https://howmanyconfs.com/XRP is even worse than many centralized "shitcoins". It doesn't have an incentivization mechanism for validators. Without any kind of reward for securing the network, the XRP Ledger would be extremely-vulnerable against external attacks. I mean, who's going to voluntarily run a validator node for XRP? On top of that, Ripple controls the UNL (Unique Node List) which is a list of trusted validators accepted by the network. If you want to run your own and become a part of the network, you're going to need approval from Ripple. Or at least, get your node inscribed on that list.
XRP fanboys won't give a damn about this, so they will keep buying no matter what. Their demise will come soon. It won't be long before XRP fades away into oblivion. At least we know Bitcoin will survive. And that's what matters.
