Why hasn't crypto jumped in to the rescue? Sounds like a textbook case of "code is law"
The problem is the same. It still costs money to support crypto payments via taxes, payment fees, customer support etc that it's not worth to collect crypto from these countries. It's much more lucrative to just target US markets

Because no one wants to use a currency that is tightly (and correctly) associated with child porn and North Korean scammers.
