In the finest blockchain tradition, this posits a convoluted solution that doesn't work, to a problem that nobody actually has.

So, IoT devices will not need to pay each other? No need to repeat a point without actually adding anything new to discussion. Companies are reaching out to IOTA, perhaps you should tell them their desire for this technology is irrational?

Additionally, while IOTA is designed for IoT, it will obviously work with non-IoT devices. If IOTA works, there is no need for many other cryptos to exist.

> Companies are reaching out to IOTA

In all the cases so far that IOTA put forward of this happening, the company came back denying it.

That is false. Either you are not doing your own research, or you are intentionally spreading misinformation.
