So does bitcoin work without the internet? Otherwise, does everyone have internet and the devices to access it? How is bitcoin any better than other digital payments/assets?

Without any internet at all, or without the payment device having constant internet access? Because you can transmit a bitcoin transaction over NFC, Bluetooth, QR codes, etc to the receiver, who can then broadcast it at their leisure. Yeah with no internet at all, Bitcoin along with all modern financial infrastructure breaks down.
