Actually no.
The professional format is Betacam, and incompatible with Betamax.
Betamax can be superior to VHS, but that’s easy if you just waste a lot of tape. If you put the formats on equal footing the difference is negligible: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_oJs8-I9WtA
Being theoretically better from a purely technical perspective doesn’t make something „superior“. VHS took over because the whole package was superior.
