I think a bit of context is important here: the Byakugan is pretty powerful as well. the Sharingan may have a higher power ceiling here, but few people reach that. Kakashi's use and Itachi's use were considered abnormal, while Guy had learned to avoid it alltogether. Jutsu combinations can also make a big difference, as Chidori + Sharingan has a much stronger synergy than say, Sharingan + fireball jutsu.

Secondly, the Byakugan's theoretical power limit is MUCH higher than has ever been displayed. Especially the all-tenketsu stuff is insanely powerful, and elemental combinations together with Hyuga jutsu may raise the power of those jutsu significantly.

And lastly, the Sharingan is more of a combat eye, whereas the Byakugan is far more about everything but the fight. Hinata's team was able to navigate the forest of death easily by detecting threats first and gauging their strength. Neji, Hinata and other Hyuga members have consistently shown that the Byakugan is godlike for information gathering. The Sharingan just can't match this. But like my previous points, this power has rarely been put to full use.
