Great analogy. Unfortunately payment apps and online wallets never had gas tanks before bitcoin came along. They just had account balances so that's what laymen understand.
Getting them to understand that they'll need to keep up with a 'gas tank' will always be a hard sell because it just inherently feels unnecessary.

I think the analogy still works, with your bank account, which you have to manage. If you keep spending, but don't keep an eye that your income > spending, you're going to be standard, miles away from anyone else but your friendly bank clerk

Tell that to people needing ETH to send USDT. I think they're close to getting it although it's indeed an epic clusterfuck of customer support.
