how come no other editor has adopted some of its capabilities?
I think the reason is it's very hard to do so. Vim has been around for really long and it's features have slowly evolved to what we see today. Replicating these features would be a difficult task – it would be an awesome feat if editors could.
Also, most editors aren't designed with vim compatibility from the ground up, so it gets hard mixing vim and non-vim.

I agree. And I have to say most of them do adopt a vim-like plugin at least for basic motions. See Jet brains editors, VS code, Atom, etc.
