You can build smart contracts with dollars through the Ethereum cryptocurrency. If you think you can make smart contracts any other way then you don't really understand what smart contracts are.

I'm not sure what you mean. You can't program the dollar bill. It's a piece of paper.

If you are asking why stable coins pegged to the dollar don't exist, well they already exist.
