It doesn't, and it won't.
You need to understand these simple facts first to understand where bitcoin maximalism comes from.
I'm trying :) I know that's hard to believe. Such is the curse of dogmatic belief.
Here's a chart of PoW coins sorted by their trade volume in the past month.
Why wouldn't it beat bitcoin? I'm not implying that I care if it does or doesn't. Why are you so sure it can't?

You can start by running a Bitcoin node, it may help you understand things.
Then pick this list and try to run a node for each one of these shitcoins, see if you notice any subtle differences.

I have run bitcoin and lightning nodes, and I have written Script to interact with the network. I'm well aware of the technical details, though I can always know more. Since litecoin is a fork of btc, and doge is a fork of litecoin, I presume to know a bit about them as well.
I've run a Monero node as well. There is no "Script" equivalent there, but I've interacted with the network.
What are the subtle details you speak of?

Lol. You don't need to look too hard into the transaction script, they aren't there. But keep looking, you'll eventually figure it out.

If you don't know the answer, be a man and admit it. I'm not trying to convince you about anything, I'm honest about my intentions.
I'm also a scientist. The idea of starting with the preconception that bitcoin transactions are better but i dont know why, and THEN analyzing data, is only going to lead to biased understanding. Humans are incredible at finding patterns.

You're a troll, first and foremost. And not a particularly bright one.
Nevertheless since you insist, here are some hints.
