The think is with the chidori is this: It's not just the fact that you have tunel vision and only see limited of whats in front of you. It's not just that. Even if you see something coming, at a very high speed it doesn't mean you can react to it. Unlike the byakugan, the sharingan actually manipulates the users body to more fluid movements, better timing, reflexes and most importantly tracking. The byakugan just does not.

Except there's literally nothing stopping a Byakugan user from adapting to these speeds, the same way Kakashi taught Sasuke to use the Chidori properly by duplicating the high speed movements of someone like Lee. The advantages granted by the Sharingan are balanced by the different advantages of the Byakugan, namely its ability to see all around, its superior range and ability to percieve small details. After that, its just a matter of adjusting to high speed movement, which again is nothing new for many high end ninja, as Naruto, who has no dojutsu, can move and react just fine using his batshit kurama cloak speed.
