Kubernetes solves a widespread problem. Cloud solves a widespread problem.

sending money to family in countries with harsher financial systems, being able to donate to causes you support without it being traceable to you (through tornado cash and zcash/monero), being able to move large amounts of money instantly with minimal fees and no intervention, etc.
Yeah, the one and only crypto use case: go around financial regulations.
Ever wonder why we want to trace transactions? KYC, AML, all that jazz?

Hint: darkness and obscurity most of the time don't hide shy virtuous people.
