PayPal had lots of deficiencies.
Your privacy is not guaranteed.
Transactions can be reversed.
Very high fees in most cases.
And quite a lot of other reasons which have made people avoid that payment platform.
There are quite a good number of better options now which correct the above-mentioned deficiencies, plus the fact that you have full ownership and control of your bitcoins, as opposed to trusting PayPal. There are really better options now that serve the purpose perfectly
During the previous era, only at the start of the road, it may of been good, but currently, I agree, there are options to choose from, which is great.
