Banks are the ones that will give you consumer protection but bitcoin will not. Everything that will happen to your bitcoin is your own responsiblity and no one controls it so let me remind you again that it is decentralized at the first place.
Yes I agree with your opinion. Bitcoin is our own responsibility. The Bank will only provide protection to consumers rather than on bitcoin.

Let say if government already legalize bitcoin, it means that they have protect bitcoin usage but the other disadvantage is bitcoin is not consider as decentralized currency anymore as they also apply tax on them.

In other side ,it's prevent scam attempt as we know bitcoin = criminal money
Bitcoin is not generally a criminal money but somehow can be considered to be as just like that because of its decentralized feature and anonymity which is a great tool to make crimes. Bitcoin cant be regulated which means it cant be controlled by anybody and talking about consumer protection its not possible since once bitcoin have been transferred theres no chance on making reversion of transactions. It can be regulated but only possible on those services which have being controlled by laws.
It seems to me that you exaggerate the anonymity of bitcoin. But it doesn't matter. Perhaps in the future the bitcoin community comes to what you need to create the transit server the type of arbitrator that will linger coins before you confirm the transaction with both parties. Then we can return the payment.
