If we are going to examine the case of Bitcoin, it was never really adopted for general payment, most use it as an investment. The Bitcoin supporters would always have to argue that Bitcoin's purpose is not digital cash but a store of value. So if you have ever bought or mined Bitcoin, it is quite unlikely that you would actually use it to buy things.

Bitcoin (BTC) have already abandoned Satoshi Nakamoto's Original Vision - A P2P Electronic Cash System. It is no longer suitable as cash method of payment. Aside from that, the Bitcoin Core developers implemented a new software known as Replace By Fee (RBF) that undoubtedly killed BTC's use case as cash because RBF made it easy for people using Bitcoin to double-spend on Bitcoin network.

Therefore, merchants accepting BTC payments are on a higher risk because an attacker at will could easily double-spend. But this doesn't mean that no merchants would want to accept Bitcoin.
