I will use PayPal when making purchases, mostly to keep from giving my payment information directly to yet another company that could handle it improperly.
Not to say that PayPal wouldn’t misuse the information too, but it’s one company that might misuse my information vs many companies, so I’ll go with the one.
In Poland there is a payment system called blik, and it’s not a company, but more like a protocol iirc. The blik provider is literally your bank, so no external platform to give your info to.
Although, I’m not sure whether it doesn’t share your payment information, since I don’t really know how it works internally.
Is there any reason to use PayPal vs a bank card, or a credit card, or Venmo or any other payment option?

No. You will get scammed with zero recourse.
Epic Store will throw errors when you try to use a credit card instead of PayPal.
So, no.
Sometimes it’s the only option I can use online as I don’t have a credit card, only a direct debit/bank card. I’ll only use it if I have to though
I’ve had shops that either accept PayPal, or a bank transfer that they’ll manually process when they get to it.
