This list seems silly. For example:
> In a 2013 video, a man appears to be paying for his meal at Subway using Bitcoin in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
And, many are only at select locations, "will be", "unveils plans", and "testing".

To add my experience. I looked at rolling out Coinbase commerce a couple of years ago and then again a couple of months ago. I found their current integrations lacked support or were seemingly abandoned.
Contacting general or merchant support often took over 2 weeks to get a response, which was a deal-breaker for any service that would inevitably impact customers on our end.

I'm not even really talking about technical limitations. More that 90% of consumers don't own any crypto. And (more controversially) it has completely morphed into an investment asset class. One that is possibly in a deflationary spiral where no one wants to spend any of it. IMHO it has really failed in it's mission of actually being a currency.

I use coinbase to accept crypto payments for virtual property here: https://substrata.info/parcel_auction_list
But I've absolutely never seen it in the wild.
