What you may point out is hypocrisy. That hypocrisy still doesn't change anything about cryptocurrencies themselves.

Real or perceived hypocrisy doesn't absolve cryptocurrencies in any way. What they are and what they have to account for has to stand on itself, on its own.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

You also seem to be a bit disingenuous: cryptographic hashes don't boil the ocean. Amusement park tokens idem. They aren't used for ransomware.

So this attempt at some kind of slippery slope argument isn't really working, if you would ask me.

When money is at stake, logic and reason is the first to fly out of the window. Whatever necessary to make the grift going will be said.
