Perhaps we could develop some form of secure digital currency that is not reliant on central authorities such as banks, payment processors, or governments?

That was a great theory, but in practice it became an asset/investment; nobody pays with BTC because its value is too volatile.

One would expect stablecoins to be more popular but I haven't seen them as valid payment options anywhere except crypto exchanges. That's just me though.

That is underway, with adult content providers (for example) now generally accepting payment methods that do not rely on credit card companies. All the way to accepting Home Depot gift cards that can be bought for cash.

The issue is that for now, and for a long time ahead, all these content providers feel that most of their clients would prefer to use a credit card. So they need all of their content to be acceptable to these people. Which comes with lots and lots of lowest common denominator rules. Even if some people do not use credit cards.
