If not for people who mess with our money, we wouldn't need Bitcoin in the first place. Or at least, wouldn't need to worry about investing in a risky unknown asset. Thanking Ben is following the Keynesian broken window theory. People interested in BTC are trying to save their wealth primarily, not win a lottery. Of course, some will be rewarded for that, but it's a very risky journey.
I'd rather not explain my parents how to deal with BTC in safe manner and let some local bank take care of it. But if the bank robs us all the time, then we have to go through all that messy crypto business.
