Thanks for the mention!

I think Ethereum's scaling issues are presented rather one-sides. See, other blockchains may be more scalable because they have faster blocks, or better node specifications, or other 'tricks' that are easy to use to make a blockchain faster. But the actual innovation and development and real scaling stuff happens on Ethereum, not the other chains. Take for instance Plasma or Sharding. I'm pretty sure those things get developed on Ethereum first, and then some savvy coder from another project just steals the concept and builds it on the other project too. Just look at Lightning Network -> Raiden Network -> Trinity Network. They're all the same 'invention' except two of them are stolen from the real inventors, who are in Bitcoin in this case.

So while other projects may have speed/price boosts because of unimportant things that make the tx-throughput statistically higher, I would not discount Ethereum and the amount of real, smart developers working on it. Many other projects are just copying their work
