As long as you find the local exchange that you are satisfied using with, that's good. Because there are local exchanges that are said to be bad and not really the best in shape. But do the users have choice with that? I don't think so, anyway as long as you can use it for its purpose for trading then there's no problem at all.
Because as you've said, that's the main function of exchanges and that's to use them as-is and not to store funds. So as long as there's the function that you're able to buy and sell and you know that you shouldn't hold there for long then that means that you're good even with the local exchanges compared to Binance.
Among the many exchanges available, there are one and two that can be said to be good and not all of them are bad because they have tried using them as a trading place.
Binance is indeed a large exchange with advantages and convenience for users to trade and all the advantages and conveniences possessed by Binance are recognized by many traders who use their platform, there are even traders who trade on two exchanges, but it is not a matter of regret if Binance has problems and are prohibited from operating in most countries if they are not registered in the country in which they operate.
