It’s hard to take down sites on Tor. Usually impossible without the full weight of the FBI/CIA. I agree with the user above: we can do decentralised communication without censorship. Of course if you start from the faulty premise that online discourse needs to occur on one of a handful of censored platforms then that’s impossible.

And so tor has a reputation of mainly being used for illegal things - because it is - and several countries just block the entire thing.

Illegal, meaning There's laws against it, like being gay in many countries. Not morally wrong, although there is a lot of that.

Yes, but using Tor actually can have negative effects, such as buying illegal things, like drugs, and other things that you would want to be anonymous while buying...

even in countries where it's blocked there are ways in. Chinese users are given unlisted bridges which camouflage their traffic signal.
