He isn't pope because he's a foot dragger whereas Francis was elected because he fully understands what the new religion is and is doing what he can to implement what the new religion teaches.
That said, I have wondered why the queers, Jєωs and other queer loving, contraception practicing and pro death NOers have let Cardinal Burke say the things he says without incident. There is something fishy about that. Normally, if he was any good at all, they'd have already had him publicly tried, found guilty and excommunicated.
