I agree.
But I also think adaption is lagging simply because of the nature of Bitcoin.
When talking with normies about Bitcoin you're always hearing the same platitudes from mainstream media. They know all about it, but have never touched or seen Bitcoin from close-up, let alone experiencing bad UX.
It's a reputational issue brought upon by media and politics. And it's also a frictional issue brought upon by the technical nature of Bitcoin that's above the 3 sigma level for normies.
I see further Bitcoin adaption in the west only happening when the legacy system breaks down. That's not a very optimistic thought, but if you look at the rest of the world where live is though, Bitcoin flourishes compared to the fiat infulged western normies.
It's a great article and also an epic rant. Which I really appreciate.
I zapped your Read frictionless with minibits, amethyst and nwc. These all took me 3*21sec. So achieving normie level isn't so far off only if we'd provide a little extra effort.
