Wouldn’t they be able to do that without integrating Bitcoin as a payment gateway?

Yeah. If they were interested in speculating using Bitcoin, they would just buy Bitcoin, instead of essentially letting their end customers decide, wouldn't they?

Unless you pull the tesla trick of accepting payment in BTC but reserving the right to refund in either BTC or USD -- granting yourself a soft option on BTCUSD. Altough surely not worth the effort unless you have a lot of refund flow.
