Why not Zcash?

Monero doesn't have a dev tax.

Though Zcash proponents will say the tax is a good thing. The tax is so good, that instead of getting rid of the tax after half of the coins were mined like the developers originally promised, the devs kept the dev tax for all of the mined coins.

Not the OP, but Zcash's privacy feztures are optional and seldom used in practice, whereas monero is secure by default. It helps with blending in the crowd.

right, plus the anonymity set size, plus the original trusted setup (now largely resolved)
