Well, yeah there a spectrum of people out there, no doubt. You can't account for all of them and predict their actions. As for the separation of state and money, that's not something that happens overnight. Might take half a century even, who knows, but i hope it happens sooner.

Operation Tornado Dust 🌪️ 💸 🔒

A few alternative scenarios:
1) Someone gets rekt on a shitcoin and becomes a fiat maximalist for life, lumping bitcoin in with shitcoins.
2) Someone had no knowledge of bitcoin, but learned about it through (celebrity nft project).  They organically learn about bitcoin now having skin in the game.

If bitcoin is what we believe it to be, it will absorb the value eventually.  But in the present cultural reality NFTs or DeFi are just things tech people are interested in.  And they happen to help the larger cause of removing money from state.  And they teach baby steps into self sovereignty and permissionless tech.   Hate to break it to you but a lot of liberal NPC-types are repulsed by "freedom talk" but might be enticed by stablecoin yield.  Baby steps.
