The market isn't driving or it would be free. I think you are right that there is a sly and roundabout way to embed more cryptography into the system, by playing on its incentives, as Bitcoin already does. I think security is actually the greatest open opportunity there.

But the control grid is built on things that cryptography fundamentally threatens. Lying, stealing, cheating and slavery are not byproducts. They are it's very substrate.

From clipper chips to PQ migration, the pervasive deepest logic of system will always be anti-crypto at its core. It will only allow it grudgingly, in limited domains and it will always be attacking it at the same time.

Fiat is inherently anti-rreality. Cryptography is reality's enforcement arm.

The system has conflicting incentives that can be exploited to make limited progress, but we have to remember that full adoption of cryptography is an existential threat to the system. Privacy, security and freedom are antithetical to its very existence.

The crypto wars will be fought to the end.
