When buying bitcoin on Bisq, I've been primarily using Zelle. The issue is that it is directly linked to my bank account and the transactions regularly get flagged, canceled, and my account gets locked. So I have to go through the song and dance of verifying my identity to get access back. Then, when I try the transaction again, the cycle repeats until I finally get it through.

Now I'm using Strike instead. Much smoother experience. The only problem is that it doesn't seem like it is widely used, so offers take longer find/get accepted. Why wouldn't Bitcoiners be more inclined to use a Bitcoin based payment system for peer-to-peer bitcoin exchanges? Hopefully use increases over time. Or am I missing something?

Probably because Zelle is instant and Strike takes time for the funds to get transferred to your bank account.

Yeah. I suppose that's a solid reason for the preference.
