Adapt or perish. That's the way life works. Ask Charles Darwin.
Classic is not the next step, it is a power grab.

You are the one making an assertion, the onus is on you to back it with some evidence.
Evidence of absence. You don't have a list that proves the overwhelming support for Classic, thus it does not exist.
I never claimed overwhelming support for Classic by businesses. I merely pointed out that they do not care.
here, I'll post it again:
People make themselves heard only if and when they care about an issue. When they don't care what happens, they don't say anything -- which is what's happening now. Miners care -- they voiced their opinion. Merchants/exchanges don't care, so no need to compile lists "of every merchant."
Had their multi-million-dollar businesses been threatened by the potentiality of a fork, I'm certain they would have made their concerns known.

Similarly to when some said they'd back XT until they didn't?
Are you suggesting that they may change their minds? Different topic, but hey, possible :- Especially with folks like Luke Jr. threatening them with fresh PoW.
