Which, in the US, is paid by the vendor, and so invisible. And worth it, given the protections against fraud, etc.

If you're claiming that there are vendors giving a 2.5% discount for using crypto for anything, you've got some evidence to produce.

P.S. It's not always 2.5%, either. Could be 1.5% at scale.
