It is impossible to answer unambiguously. Yes, Monero has good functional qualities, but it is famous primarily for its high degree of anonymity. Bitcoin is only relatively anonymous, since under certain circumstances it allows the establishment of its owner. However, due to its anonymity, as you have already noted, this Coin is popular in the dark web and for this reason its circulation is prohibited in some states, for example, Japan. In the future, one should expect a negative attitude to this coin from other states.
