The network does the payment processing. The rest can be implemented at a higher level. It is like offering customer support for open source software. Technically anyone can build a company on top of the software and start providing support.

Eg. the rest is optional and doesn't come with the same guarantees as the base network.

I don't hate cryptocurrency personally, but it's not hard to see how 99% of users would prefer "the rest" implemented well over a properly transparent blockchain.
