You're right, there is a market demand for both types.

Altcoins/Libra/etc, where things are easy, things are simple, things are sometimes insured, the only problem here is, you must trust a centralized authority to make decisions that may effect you down the line. That centralized party will always become corrupt if they become too big and powerful. With power comes corruption. So by investing/using these tokens/services you are contributing to what will become a corrupt system.

Bitcoin is for people who do not want to be dependent on 3rd party to call shots
(ie: chain reorg, partnerships, etc) centralized entity is also a central point of failure.
