Even if the things you say about lsp-mode are true (which I don't think they are), lsp-mode has many features that eglot has no alternative to at all. I also feel that lsp-mode's features are higher quality overall, with the downside of depending on packages and features not built into emacs itself. An example of such a feature is lsp-mode's project integration, it uses projectile which is much more powerful and useful than the built in project.el. Another example is using flycheck instead of flymake for on-the-fly diagnostics. I would not say either package is better than the other because they are so different, and have such different philosophies. Eglot is much more minimal and tries to use native emacs features when possible, preferring minimalism over features. lsp-mode brings in a lot of features and prefers to use third party packages instead of built ins. I used eglot for a little while before trying lsp-mode and decided that I personally prefer lsp-mode overall, with both being great options. I would recommend anyone curious to give both a try and decide for themselves.
