There are a lot of use cases altcoins have impacted retail payment than bitcoin. Am going to point out few of them .
1 Monero :

At a time when people can search people records and find information on virtually anyone at a touch of a button, demand for a private way to transact money has always been at the center of crypto. And Monero is probably the first coin people think about when talking about a privacy coin.
This secrecy that Monero offers is what makes it such a valuable asset,
You can transact on Monero and your transaction can never be traced while on the bitcoin network transactions can be traced.
2 Ether :
People wrongfully jumble Bitcoin and Ether together, but they’re fundamentally different in so many ways. While both Ether and BItcoin are traded on the public market and subject to the forces of speculation, Ether has something Bitcoin has not, and that is a use case beyond simply being a digital currency.
Ether is the fuel needed to transact and operate on the Ethereum network, and as such, will always have an intrinsic value for those who want to use the network to run their own applications. Ethereum is also the platform of choice for many new cryptos, which should continue to foster demand for Ether for years to come.
This are just some cases.

Well bitcoin, has an advantage in so far as the fact that vastly more people hold the original currency than they do any other. However, numerous altcoins particularly Bitcoin cash, Dash and litecoin are already faster and cheaper than bitcoin as a method of payment, while the may lack the value of their older rival, they currently provide a more seamless retail experience.
Bitcoin cash :
In its current state Bitcoin can't handle a high throughput of transactions as its main rivals. In particular, it presently comes nowhere near topping the speeds offered by Bitcoin Cash, which at maximum beats its closest rival Dash at 168 transactions per second. On top of this, bitcoin cash has the lowest transaction fee meaning that it's the most usable cryptocurrency from a standpoint that focuses mostly on cost and speed.
Dash :
The Dash network was specifically designed for payment use case.it offers instant payment that make it viable at the point of sale. In addition, fees are very low with a median transaction fee of about one tenth of a cent. This combination makes Dash feasible for everyday consumer purchases.

BNB,ETH, because them have a transaction which is need a fee (gas) so i think it will make ETH transaction is more rather than BTC. BNB think won't too impact BTC, because BNB has a lower fee , not like ETH. so, "What are the use-cases of altcoins that impact retail payments more than Bitcoin" the answer is Gas Transaction.

The use cases of altcoins that impact retail payments more than bitcoin include : 1. Lower transaction fees. Bitcoin has the highest transaction fee over other major cryptocurrencies as the average transaction fee stands at $0.724 compared to $0.613 for monero, $0.206 Ethereum e.t.c 2. Long confirmation time : The issue of BTC's fees is compounded by it's longer confirmation time, with the average time 14.7 minutes. For instance, the average block time for Ethereum was a mere 14.5 seconds while the current averages for Dash, Litecoin and Dogecoin are 2.37, 2.43 and 1.02 minutes respectively. 3. Block size and average number of transactions : It's not just slow confirmation time that restricts Bitcoin's usability, also it's 1MB block size and average number of transactions it can process per second. Conversely, Ethereum can reportedly handle a theoretical maximum of 30 transactions per second, while Bitcoin Cash's block-size limit can handle 32 MB means it can handle 32 times more transaction than bitcoin per second.

Altcoins have lower transaction fees and confirmation time compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin may be popular and may be a good store of value, but it's clearly not the cheapest way of buying goods. Even though it's transaction fee have gradually declined since then SegWit upgrade was rolled out in February, the occasional surge of congestion can increase fees by as much as a few dollars - something which can make a considerable amount of difference when what you are purchasing is less expensive than the fee.
