What it boils down to is that Monero is building decentralised infrastructure like Havemo (fastest growing P2P fiat DEX), Serai (decentralised crypto to crypto exchange), atomic swaps and even more important it's the one that grows the parallel and circular economy.

By then you can hope that your decentralised but transparent and therefore taxable Bitcoin still has some purchasing power in XMR terms.

The essense of your tirade is pure cope. You're angrily lashing out but it won't change anything. What was supposed to be a revolutionary technology became captured and sterilized. It's becoming integrated with the same governments and institutions you were trying to remove. They accept it with open arms because surveilleable hodling culture is a non-threat to fiat.
