Why wouldn't they invest and use a commerical coin if Katy Perry told them it is totally cool next super bowl?

Because the risk is huge when a currency has a single point of failure. A company-run currency is vulnerable to the failure of the company as well as whims of the people making decisions for that company. National currencies share these risks to an extent, but with a private currency they are much greater.
