Only a monumental idiot tries to pass off the prime example of how to write PHP badly as their own. It was a lousy blog script in 2004 and hasn't improved (nor actually become a CMS) since.
Only if your criteria for "better" is entirely based on shortness of learning curve. Drupal has always been more of a framework than a CMS, long before the likes of Cake, CodeIgniter, and Laravel.
WP's only advantage is letting designers pass themselves off as developers. It has a terrible database schema, the code is insecure spaghetti, and it's all held together with bad practices.

Again, I couldn't disagree more. Having used both for years, it's Drupal that's the insecure mess these days (Drupalgeddon I and II, anyone?), and it's just plain dwindling. It was hard enough to find useful modules for it, and every new version sees fewer. I used to push for it as a CMS of choice for clients, but not for about five years now. It's just too much of a pain, and all too often can't do what needs to be done anyway (without doing it all from scratch).
