If nothing else, bitcoin offers utility as it is a way for liquidity to enter the crypto ecosystem. Most of the new money enters via bitcoin, whether from old or new players. When the utility of the crypto ecosystem increases as a whole, via working blockchain apps, and interchain operability, the utility of Bitcoin also does. This is because it can be seen as the USD of the Cryptoecosystem. Of course if things like Quash succeed, there might be not much need any more for BTC, as a tool to bring liquidity to the markets.
