I agree user demand is the problem. The assumption would be that only businesses truly committed to bitcoin adoption would consider this.

You can probably DIY some of this volatility insurance by using futures contracts, but that's not a realistic scenario for most business owners.

I also still think that low user demand is the bigger impediment to merchant adoption than volatility.   If a merchant is worried about volatility, they can simply price their goods in fiat and sell any bitcoins they earn right away.
