How come both petrol and diesel cars still exist? Why hasn’t one “won” over the years?

I’m thinking about similar situations e.g. the war of the currents with AC and DC or the format wars with various disc formats where one technology was deemed superior and “won” in the end, phasing the other one out. How come we still have two competing fuels that are so different?

Just a quick point, AC didn’t win over DC or vice versa.

House supplies might be AC, but a **shocking** number of devices in the house / car / boat / plan are still running DC internally.
