Investors optimize profit, not moral values.
What is disadvantage to you well could be an advantage to an investor.

Current bitcoin (and likely almost all of the decentralized crowd) is
unusable on large scale.

Numbers taken from Ripple's site, could be biased:
BTC does 3 to 6 transactions per second, ETH 15 tps, XRP 1.5K tps (and
claims to scale to Visa's 50K tps).

Too bad the Bitcoin founding father(s) didn't think about this outcome
and code the solution.
