All of your use cases involve anonymity. Crypto currencies don’t provide anonymity. Sure it’s not directly tied to your name and address, but it’s quite possible to make that tie. Such cases are on the news fairly frequently.
You're right that Bitcoin is only pseudo-anonymous. But there are cryptocurrencies like Monero which provides much better anonymity. Also, anonymity isn't black and white. It would be very difficult for the Venezuelan government to prevent you from buying Bitcoin in-person and then walking out of the country, with your Bitcoin keys written on a small piece of paper or even memorized.
Effectively, the current situation is rather close to that: the financial system is predicated on Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering regulations that make moving large amounts of money for anonymous purposes dangerous for financial institutions.
