Well said. Legal tender is the difference here, USD comparisons are apples and oranges IMO.

as ETH is a volatile cryptocurrency and not US legal tender at all, while USD is the exact opposite: a fiat currency considered legal tender not only in the US but worldwide.

Legal tender has a specific legal meaning. I can assure you that the USD is not legal tender almost everywhere in the world.
