Bitcoin wants to be big finance's on ramp for crypto.
Eth wants to be Dapp central.
Monero wants to be digital cash.
Link wants to be best oracle and enter the Dapp niche through big cost savings.

Each one of the legitimate projects is focusing on a niche where it has the competitive advantage, just like any other industry.
A large amount of the rest are vapoware fuelled by hype.
