I believe one of the major setbacks of the present crypto space is a lot of new projects are focused on providing the fastest easiest crypto coin to be used for payment purposes and transactions however considerably lower effort is placed on the vendors who are actually going to be accepting payment in form of cryptocurrencies because what is the use of having a crypto payment card full of money that you cannot spend.
Whitmore payment gateways a inform of PayPal and the likes accepting crypto payments from multiple coins without necessarily issuing their own coin then there will be better adoption of cryptocurrencies by both business owners and customers.
I understand somehow your sentiment about the proliferation of different payments but only few has adapted in it, well for me, its not an overnight success, it would depend on the team and developers on how they work on their project, if they give up then it should not be fine, as we are all aware that there are thousands of supporters and investors.
