Government is not the only reason. The credit card cartel will deny certain types of businesses in areas they consider shady like sex toys or legal drugs or certain media. Cryto offers a payment method for these cases.

You don't need crypto for that. Cash will work. Or a system like India's UPI - direct, instantaneous inter-bank transfer, with no fees, via mobile apps.
