I am curious, still, and I'll ask since it was brought up again, why does this not apply to a book? Everything supersedes books, but IIRC you don't think they're obsolete.

Why do books have unique things they do but not comics? Surely the things a book lacks that are points in its favor should apply to comics, right? What about static visual art, paintings and drawings and such? Does that have a place on its own? Why is it the addition of the unique things books do and the unique things static visual art does isn't a substantial and worthy whole? Why does it need sound and the illusion of motion to be a medium worth using as something other than a training exercise? You mentioned the needs and character of a story, is there any story that would be suited to a comic book style of composition? Why am I going down this rabbit hole? (answer: because this viewpoint and flow of logic is, well it's pretty familiar because you've been around for years, but it's still very alien to me, I don't really grasp it, and I think it's kind of funny, and those all make me want to know more)
