Aside from the importance of security that Bitcoin offers, we have to consider other logical factors that distinguish Bitcoin from others. "First come, first served" is a phrase used to denote quick service or attention. The individual who arrives first typically receives better attention than those who come later. It's similar to attending an event that requires registration, if you are the first to arrive, you are likely to be attended to first.
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency in the crypto space, as records show. Being the first, it had to gain trust from skeptics and enthusiasts, thereby increasing in value over time. So, primarily, what makes Bitcoin's price stand out is the trust it has gained over the years, which still gives people more reason to keep investing even when the market is down. If Ethereum had been the first, then it could have also gained trust, thereby acquiring enough value to stand out from others.
In conclusion, I don't think other coins would be able to surpass Bitcoin due to the trust Bitcoin has gained over the years.
