I'll start from the end.
1) Cryptocurrency or "crypto" has just become a word to describe alternative versions of Bitcoin - which are all failed experiments or - mostly - scams.
Bitcoin is a peer to peer electronic cash system and the word cryptocurrency is not used in the white paper at all. Also blockchain is not used, still people used that word for everything.
It might be ok to use it in casual conversations? Yes. But Bitcoin is NOT a cryptocurrency because there is no such thing as a crptocurrrency.
2) I see your general point about software stay agnostic from value transfer of any kind, including Bitcoin in any form. My post - which was not a scientific paper rather just a "thought of the moment" - is about "hey, maybe it should". And even if I see your points and mostly agree, at the same time I think it might be better the other way around. Bitcoin can be transformative in the way humans interact, and zaps here are a first example. I totally see that happening for books, articles, chats, videos, songs and, yes, software packages and software apps and so on...
Why embedded? Because if that means more money flow and flow from consumers / users to producers / makers... that's a good thing as the outcome is important.
There are downside? Probably. Again, it was just a shout, open for discussion. Glad to have this one.
