I keep reading that other car companies are ditching their standards to adopt the Tesla charger, but I haven’t seen anything that makes them better besides that they are more widely available.

Availability is everything in this case.
Imagine dropping a bunch of money on a cool (non-Tesla) EV, only to find that you have to go a long way out of your way to find a public charging station that’s compatible. What about road trips on long sections of open highway? Sure, you can always charge at home and you probably planned on that piece, but you didn’t expect to have your plans constrained so much by a lack of charging infrastructure.
Adopting Tesla’s extensive charger network helps solve the chicken-and-egg problem of EV adoption.
