Why is BTC better than LTC?

Good day everyone. I’m fairly new to the crypto field (started December 2020). I love everything about crypto and try believe it’s the future of finance! When I started I was in BTC and ETH. I eventually switched to all ETH because I wasn’t knowledgeable enough about the lighting network. I thought that the transaction process & speed of BTC couldn’t scale because of that. Then after the more I read, I found out how the lighting network will solve those issues. My question to the crypto community is why is BTC considered better than LTC. They both use proof of work (which is usually the reason most BTC maxis use as to why it’s the best). However it seems to me that LTC has a more updated blockchain, cheaper transactions & faster. Can someone please enlighten me as to what BTC has that LTC doesn’t, and why it’s the better coin?
