You’re right that privacy is better in monero by default and you’re also correct that people are lazy and will not avail themselves of the additional tools in bitcoin to safeguard their privacy.

I support bitcoin though because the world will be a better place when nations can no longer fund wars and massive governments with printed money.

To become the global money, the base chain needs high trust. Everyone needs to trust it. Really trust it.

I remind myself that most people will just buy the bitcoin ETF. They will give up their independence and privacy for convenience. For those of us that care about privacy, options are available.
