I'm thinking about two categories:
- digital native companies like Proton or Mullvard. What are the chances they stop accepting Lightning because it isn't worth it and only a dozen people use it? Will they still accept Bitcoin in 4 years?
- old econ companies. In-n-out if they go through with it. Stake and shake hinted at it too. This category isn't even here yet. Do you think this category will still be orangepilled in 4 years?

Supporting LN payments is a gimmick to most companies atm, just look at bitrefill report.
for most its a marketing stunt or founder (or someone with decision making power) motivation. amount of people who actually spend bitcoin on daily basis (outside of shitposting here or zapping on nostr) is trivially small so the decision to do it must be fueled from either hoping to get free publicity or attract more customers with it.
good example will be to see how many big chains keep bitcoin payments in el salvador now that they are not forced to. it will probably be a good proxy for this in the future
What is the bitrefil report? Do you have a link?
what questions am I answering?
there are two questions numbered with 1 and 2. left of the / stands for first question. right of the / stands for second question 😆
Yea, it’s not clear
