There's no assuming going on. Cryptocurrencies are worse than credit cards for everything that normal people care about, and they're better than credit cards for illegal transactions. This might eventually change, and we can re-evaluate then. If for some reason cryptocurrencies become popular and sufficiently stable to be used as currency, I have no doubt that existing credit card companies will start offering automatic currency exchange, so you can have an account in USD and pay a vendor who accepts only Ethereum, or vice versa. As such, accepting credit card payments is good enough.
