You can’t replace a reliable mode of transportation with something that doesn’t exist yet. Even when it’s ready, it’d take decades. Political powers are reluctant to commit to something that’s going to take longer than their careers.
Then again, you don’t even need hyperloop. Germany has 250 km/h trains, those are more than enough for many routes.
