Byakugan is fodder doujutsu. They are certainly better off without it.
How is it fodder?
Some Hyuuga can see like 10km distance.
Byakugan has nearly 360 degree vision.
Can see the tenketsus and close them on their opponent (who than cant use chakra for a while)
and Hyuuga have extra mastery over releasing chakra from their fingertips, tenketsu and body.
Jutsus like Kaiten and Vacuüm Palm are pretty handy too.
Xray vision (I bet Jiraiya wanted a Byakugan). XD
No disadvantages like going blind, as happens with MS.
No need to get another Uchiha's eyes to fix the blindness.
No need to go into emotional and trauma like situations to unlock Byakugan, unlike Sharingan.
I would say Byakugan is quite good.
Seeing how MS is not the standard and makes you blind over time, I would prefer Byakugan over 3 tomoe Sharingan.
