I really don't understand why people don't get the idea of "digital native".

Just because verbal agreements worked for thousands of years doesn't make written contracts pointless.

Similarly the banking industry technically does "online banking" but they still have to process each transaction through archaic practices that mimic physical transactions.

Let me take a crack at interpreting it: your comment of "crypto is meant for decentralization, lots of people use exchanges, exchanges are centralized like banks, ergo crypto is just as bad as the legacy financial system" presents a false dichotomy.

Crypto adoption does not need to be a binary decision, and crypto enthusiasts are not hypocrites if they still have a bank account or if they still use exchanges when it suits them.

The important thing about crypto is optionality. Crypto/web3 gives us the option (but not the obligation) of managing our own wealth. This is something that "digital natives" understand better than old timers.
