I will let you guys in on my little secret. The reason why I post so much about Bitcoin is to get Bitcoin maximalists to follow me. Then I slowly chip away at their Highlander beliefs one tweet at a time. Before long, they will have bought some LTC and brainwashed. It works. 
for these reasons and also with a much smaller community, LTC might be able to adopt certain techs faster than BTC.

As said main reason for low fees in altcoins it the lavk of usage.

My point is that precisely because of high usage and higher fees, the idea of integrating CT can be more contentious in BTC, so it will be slower to build consensus & adopt. (To your question about what can possibly make LTC get anything else before BTC).
-
More broadly speaking, any new tech that is contentious to integrate, LTC can lead the way and take the risks of adopting it first. In doing this it will 1) debunk the FUD and 2) show the fair market value of such an adoption, which will pave the way for adoption on BTC. Win-win.
-
Like you pointed out though, there is a chance that the tech is NOT adopted on BTC eventually. Then at that point LTC will have to put more resources into maintaining its own branch. That is a risk that LTC has to take, and maybe at some point the path will inevitably split.
