Binance is an exchange, and exchanges are not needed for cryptocurrency to work. They just make it easier to enter/exit the ecosystem.

Without exchanges, you would be justified to use crypto to buy pizza again.

I never found a way to buy pizza with crypto without maintaining a FIFO ledger I could file with the IRS detailing every single transaction.

Without that onerous administrative tax-compliance requirement, I'd have made many purchases with bitcoin.
