you really shouldn’t use absolute terms like this. Many of those terminals do accept allow bitcoin payments. I used one today even for coffee and pastries here: https://btcmap.org/merchant/way:382559089

Cashier had no idea what bitcoin was and didn’t have to because the terminal had the toggle option to let me pay how I wanted.

Many places with Square terminals that accept are unfortunately not on btcmap. There is a large gap in clarity here.

Is there a way I can view businesses that accept btc on their square temrinals without having to download a closed source app?

if you’re referring to the BTCmap app and are comfortable using the website then sure. if you find something listed there and click on a listing there it will tell you what method they’re using. the one I posted to your comment is a good example. it tells you they use square.

Even within the map in CashApp it doesn't actually show places that accept. Which is very annoying.

I concede to your main point though. square really isn’t doing a great job with this. there is a ton of variance and communication between merchant and square seems abismal. But I have used the toggle option in five different states within this last year. so we can’t say “they don’t”.
