If not exchanges, what entity would you suggest as a way to change crypto into fiat?

Using the most successful fiat currency the world has ever known as a goal seems a bit lofty. In your view, how much time should it have taken to have been successful?

That's my point. There should never have been any need to exchange crypto into fiat. Bitcoin should have been as ubiquitous as USD. Everyone using it, pricing things in it, transacting with it, holding at least some amount of it. Exchanging for fiat should have been as easy as getting change from a store.

Like Athena, it should have been birthed as a full adult wearing armor.
