I think that I could see a Payment Pool from wasabi/samurai since it can be closely related to CoinJoin.
but from a company perspective I think that lots of businesses (e.g. exchanges?) might connect their hot wallets into payment pools to streamline cut-through between exchanges with higher value caps than might be comfortable for e.g. Lightning.

Had a few more unrelated questions...
How healthy is the Bitcoin and Lightning developer ecosystem?
Are you seeing fewer/more talented people begin building on Bitcoin than in past years?
Are you noticing more development activity moving onto Lightning?

IMO about as healthy as an anemic 3rd degree burn victim with long covid :)
Right now, you can leave your Google job and raise a seed/pre-seed of $1-5M at a $30-50M valuation to build on Ethereum.
You'd have to be nuts to -- on purely financial motives -- decide to work on Bitcoin instead.
That's OK because we don't want the merc's, we want passionate dedicated individuals, but consider if you're trying to build a bitcoin company and that is the ability to pay for talent you have to compete with. It is going to suck.
