How would they hold bitcoin to begin with if they need to pay for local services? How would they get paid in bitcoin, or do they need to convert their funds to bitcoin ahead of time? In such a case they could’ve easily picked USD instead.

Holding foreign currency (USD)is not that easy and if there is a "corralito" event like the one that happened in Argentina, your USD is at risk too.
