 Harder to manipulate or dump now that it is off most centralized exchanges. That's why it is less correlated with crypto markets overall.

You can get Monero directly with fiat on Haveno Reto

Swap Bitcoin for it with Bisq, Unstoppableswap, BasicSwapDex

Or swap practically any crypto for it on aggregators like Trocador, Orangefren, Intercambio, Wizardswap  or a hundred other swappers out there

 I think you'd analysis is a little naive. Few exchanges with thin order books are a playground for pump and dumps. Whales probably have other more lucrative sh$tcoins to play with for now, but I wouldn't count it out.

 None of those I listed are exchanges where you can keep your crypto parked that gives them the opportunity to manipulate and front-run (Binance, Coinbase, etc)

They're all either self-custodial DEXs/atomic swaps or immediately give you the crypto for a swap

Users can't "park" their crypto on it like you can with Bitcoin on large exchanges

I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying it's harder to do in that regard.
