Many of the problems come from the fact that peoples liabilities are in fiat so price movement affects their bottom line. Youre essentially asking them to be traders. Hopefully as bitcoin goes up volatility continues to drop and its less of an issue. Maybe insurance companies or something akin to an option could smooth it out and make operations cleaner.

That's correct. However, as Block is already demonstrating with Square/Cashapp, bitcoin payment rails doesn't have to mean that payers and payees necessarily have to ever even know that their fiat payments were transmitted as Bitcoin. What I'm asking for is that the payment rails be via decentralized, permissionless, more cost-efficient Bitcoin - with voluntary usage of services that offer bridges from/to fiat (e.g. cashapp, square, etc) for those who just don't want to hold bitcoin due to volatility (or any other reason), rather than reinfocing the backwards status quo of the other way around. PS. I do think bitcoin volatility will continue to drop, but I personally don't believe it will ever be as stable as the U.S. dollar is now, for example... After all, it's way easier for a centralized authority to manage a slow leak of value in the dollar than it ever will be for a free market to stabilize the exchange rate of Bitcoin.
