Vienna has two machines where you can withdraw cash, the rest only allow for you to buy crypto. It does make life a bit easier when you can then directly convert your crypto for use in the non the non-crypto world. However, as you noted, the fees and exchange rates are poor. But that is to be expected; the middle men always want their pound of flesh.
But on the other hand, there are a number of shops and bars here in Vienna that directly accept crypto as payment for goods and services.
