Yes, they do, but it's all based on the agreement you have with the person you are offering service to. Some people prefer PayPal because of the customer protection policy, as you have stated, but most people abuse the use of that policy a lot, so anyone who knows how PayPal operates might not want to receive payment through PayPal, but they can still go for other crypto payment options.
If you go to the service section in this forum, you will see a lot of people offering different kinds of freelancing services, and the majority of them want to be paid in bitcoin or another accepted crypto currency, but it's hard to see someone requesting to be paid with PayPal or even a bank transfer, as both of them have little difference.
You’re right. Freelancers can only request bitcoin payment if their clients also agreed on it, or vice versa. Because aside from having a smooth and hassle free transaction, bitcoin payment can also be made any time and anywhere. Unlike using other options like PayPal, aside that they have the right to freeze accounts, its merchant fees are also relatively high and since customer service is only done through online, customers do not seem so satisfied with their problems and concerns, hence they end up trusting more bitcoin payment rather than using PayPal.
