Liquidity.
Bitcoin is a good store of value but not a good currency because of its volatility.
Businesses need credit for flexible liquidity (IOU's)

It's why stable coins are popular.
People need to have a real physical presence, with real accountability to the state (aggression/taxation) in the real world.
