I don't think the issue is with the technology per se as much as with someone being paid to market it. Grandma isn't going to roll her own wallet. She might see a 4% yield on what looks like a savings account and not realize the added risk.
Agree that short of nation-state involvement, the contracts are probably there to stay. (Though if a state wanted to get particularly nasty, they could go after anyone maintaining them.)
