The reason is simple, ALL (or 99% of) state economists believe (or say they believe) that making sure people can't save money is the right thing to do and they print enought money (and use it) to make sure price inflation WILL happen (this is called monetary inflation) or create a tax everyone with the money will NEED to pay (this is called demurrage).
Almost every single altcoin dont have both ideas, with few exceptions like freicoin that has demurrage or stablecoins that are stable based at a monetary inflation fiat coin and so will have the same problems at the fiat itself.
Tons of people hate the previous ideas and since crypto dont have it they go for crypto.
