It's a bit harder for someone to take over your computer to create cash.

It's pretty hard for someone to hijack your wallet with a Trojan and if they do get into your bank account that way then the police and the bank might take an interest.

I know this is a meme in the BTC community - any criticism of BTC as a payment method is met with the claim that "it's just like cash" and any criticism of weaknesses of BTC as a currency is met with the claim that "it's a payment method and a commodity". To me it pretty much fails at all of the above.

There's no doubting it's good for purchasing contraband though.
