Another analogy that tries to lump Bitcoin with technologies instead of a protocol. Base 10 math is a protocol, all the theorems and formulas emerge from that. Base 10 math does not get replaced. The internet is a protocol. Websites and apps emerge from that. The internet does not get replaced It is easy to confuse bitcoin as a technology to be replaced rather than a protocol to have other things built upon.

It's the same dilemma -- The protocol can be usurped by evolving ideas & technologies, like the "protocol" of telephone communications have been usurped by evolving ideas & technologies.
