Forking anything is hard and forking Bitcoin is designed to be particularly difficult, so regardless of technical merit, the odds were stacked against BCH being able to supplant BTC.
To me it seems much more likely that another, unrelated cryptocurrency will eventually fulfill the role BTC was originally intended for.
