Well, there are countries like Turkey with a currency that lost 95% of its value during the last 10 years. In such countries, Bitcoin is a way to have a currency that does not have a guarantee to ruin you. When your country has 60% inflation like Turkey, the deflation currency might be seen as a gift. So, this might be a legal use case..

People in the USA loose around $10.000.000.000 per year to scams according to FTC...

But yes: Most of the other blockchain stuff is just completely useless and therefore not used.
Adding support? It's a web site. If it works on one OS, it should work on the others automatically with few exceptions. Otherwise, it's probably a bug in Firefox.

What exactly is the problem?
In Germany, we have a guy Wallraff, who gets a job at Burger King with a fake identity every few years, just to uncover hygiene scandals every time... Reminds me of that... Nowadays, no one seems to care anymore...
