Do you really? Or does your binance/coinbase debit card convert your crypto to USD and send dollars out via ACH?

Why would that matter? Do you believe that you aren't transacting with USD when you buy something using the VISA network? Or with apple pay? Or a check?

The purpose of the VISA network, Apple pay, and checks is to transact with USD.

It matters because you're not using crypto to pay, you're paying US dollars (over ACH). Same with VISA, Apple Pay, and personal checks.
