Everything is used by criminals, not just Bitcoin. For sure, the great majority of the criminals are using fiat. The more dangerous ones are definitely using fiat. They are the ones who are wearing suits and are occupying high positions in the governments of different countries and in the top executive positions of various international companies. In the low level, even scissors and frying pans and pins are used by criminals as well.
That's true. Bitcoin is just one way to transact illegal transactions that's why we can say that it is used by criminals. But to be honest, there are so many ways to be used by criminals, but some of them just choose bitcoin.
