When the petrodollar regime was created it could be done because the Saudis jumped at the chance to have privileged access to USTs.
They were good as gold- better- they had liquidity and paid interest and were backed by the dominant nation state and economy on the planet.

US exceptionalism hype made many blind to the process of decay that has been developing now for decades upon a sense of bloated entitlement.
US imperialism is no longer a viable business model.
