You can buy illicit stuff with Bitcoin too. Those were very poor examples. A great characteristic of Monero is that it is fungible, meaning a coin or a group of XMR coins cannot be blacklisted or refused due to their previous use in certain transactions. Obviously, it is not a Bitcoin killer in any sense. I love Bitcoin (and personally only hold Bitcoin), but I also admit that Monero is a great coin for specific cases. 

 Specific cases...like everyday use.
