It is irrelevant that XMR had dynamic block size 10 years ago. The important part is BCH has dynamic block size, BTC and LTC do not.
Most people to not yet know about the capability of BCH, this is changing. The DEX on BCH is growing fast because no other chain can do DeFi like BCH. (https://app.cauldron.quest/tokens)
BCH transactions are instant and can be treated final, with LTC you have to wait for confirmations because they use RBF which crippled BTC.
I agree there is nothing like DEX features coming anytime soon on XMR. But it doesn't have RBF either, what makes you think that it is enough to consider mempool transactions as final? (especially the ones with large amount)
The issue is XMR outputs are locked for 20 minutes after being received, BCH outputs are immediately spendable.
0-conf transactions on BCH are very safe because it would take a massive effort to mess with the mempool. That being said if I was sending 100 BCH I would wait for a conf. However in 99% of scenarios the TX is instant, this allows for great DEX experience.
What is 0-conf? Are BCH transactions instant? - https://bitcoincashpodcast.com/faqs/Tech/Other/what-is-0-conf
