It wasn't my point but this may be important. Poorest may benefit from bitcoin but normally there are no opportunities for them to buy, store and even have extra money on top of regular day to day spendings.

Luckily we have different dictionaries for BIP-39. This is nice because it makes the problem more tolerable.

Why seed phrases are bad?

Is your point that the less than 15% who are illiterate is the population group that has the most to gain from bitcoin adoption? That might be true, but then do you think it's an issue that the seed phrase words are all in English? What about the enormous population that does not use the latin alphabet?
