Sure, it's not a silver bullet, but I suspect the risk model is better understood (post it away from me if geographic region matters, be careful of fingerprints and hair). It also has to be preemptively intercepted, rather than crypto which is recorded forever (if I pay upfront for a year, a bad actor has one shot to intercept, whereas with crypto they can _always_ analyse the transaction history to see if I've slipped up and they can correlate transactions anywhere). I don't think either gives you an absolute guarantee[1], but cash doesn't have as many subtle pitfalls. [1] At the end of the day, you have to assume Mullvad isn't compromised _anyway_, so even if they did, it may not help (as you can probably be identified from your traffic)
