EOS hasn't even finished its ICO. How could you possibly say it's losing? (Answer: short-term, narrow-minded perspective.)
Bitshares went up 30x in price since I got in. It's community keeps developing consistently. How is that losing?
Larimer is a creator. His specialty is in getting projects up and running - leaving them for others to maintain. The devs are behind the scenes, not in the spotlight.
Both Bitshares and Steem(it) have a proven track record that speaks for themselves, which few projects in the blockchain space can compare against.
