Trust. A stable coin backed by BTC is better than one backed by USD, because you don't need to trust anybody keeping any fiat on any bank. I happily pay the higher fees on RSK.
"access is prohibited if you are a person or entity considered a citizen, resident, or taxpayer in a jurisdiction that is forbidden or restricted to operating or using the Money On Chain Decentralized Stablecoin Protocol." And ask me to accept T&C. Not permissionless.

They can't prevent you from using it. If you happen to be on a place where using BTC is considered ilegal, it'd be the same and nobody could prevent you from using BTC.

You will trust some stabilizing algorithm and that nerds at hedge funds won't crack it like Terra/Luna.

As I said before, I have never used any, other than playing around a little with DOC for the sake of learning. But then, again, in the case I'd wanted to use one in the future, it wouldn't be one backed by USD, like USDT, etc.
