If I were to boycott all the merchants around me that don't want the tax hassle of accepting bitcoin (I don't blame them) I'd have to grow my own food.
In my country, the state has, though the economic devastation around covid, effectively eliminated most small businesses. In particular, there are no local grocers, only large chain stores and franchises.

Fuck you. When did I ever make an impression that I'm defending the state?
I'm just saying the tax code is complicated as it is, and if you want to be compliant and accept bitcoin, that's an extra cost in the accounting department.
And if you want to accept bitcoin "unofficially", good luck (especially with a "Bitcoin accepted here" sticker on the door). There are undercover tax agents roaming around, setting traps for all sort of tax avoiders.
