I think if people have working mobile phones then they're able to be sent electronic cash without a p2p system. Indeed, more easily than having a VPN and relevant skills to received crypto assets.
The state here owns the network, rendering all the premises of peer-to-peer systems invalid and thus all of their guarantees.
If the government there wanted to prevent receipt of USDC it well could, as much as it can completely cutoff the country from arbitary parts of the internet.
Indeed, it would seem much more inclined to do that than cut off the mobile network.
The reason it hasnt done so is preference, not that peer-to-peer systems are magic.
