PayPal fee are ridiculously high and sending over tron network will cost penny. I have started to encourage my buyers to pay with crypto if they ask to pay via PayPal i add 10 percent fee over the final paypal fee.
 
I haven't taken a Paypal payment in years, for business or personal reasons. It's just not worth it, and there's plenty of better alternatives around these days. If friends need to send money, there's Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle, etc.

Now as a buyer, I 100% prefer to pay via Paypal, especially for subscriptions. It's quick, safe, convenient, and if I have to open a dispute, it's just a few clicks. I don't touch crypto for payments unless there's no other option.
 
Many reasons, but I think mostly two:

1- People are used to PayPal.
2- Having a middleman makes the deal safer. Specially for the buyer.

P.S: And believe it or not, using crypto is still niche af.
