Starship Fuel: Why is methane the best choice?

Why did SpaceX choose methane for the Starship?
And why is everyone else copying them?
The correct fuel choice is critical to the success of an spacecraft.
The Terran Space Academy will help you analyze the factors behind why RP-1 works for the Falcon 9 Merlin engine, but would be fatal for a Raptor.
And why the higher energy density of hydrogen does not offset the benefits of methane.
