That's not the conversation. Using and private "keys" "ownership" of a ledger balance isn't the same.
Drug dealers have to worry about security more than cost therefore tend to be conservative, if you know moving your assets via BTC works and you won't get caught you will keep doing that until it stops working or proves insecure.

The risk of going to jail for life because your low cost Ethereum based coin turns out to be an FBI plant (something the FBI did last year I think) will keep criminals sticking with the by now tried and true in the same way it probably does for most consumers
