This merchant offered Bitcoin. The vast majority of payors chose to use PayPal with its built-in buyer protection instead.

The fact that the vast majority of payors used PayPal rather than Bitcoin certainly has nothing to do with PayPal's buyer protection and everything to do with Bitcoin being obscure and more complex to use.

I rarely use cash when I buy anything in person mainly because of the buyer protection a credit card offers me.
Online it's the same thing. I'd pick credit card or Paypal over bitcoin just like I pick credit cards IRL over cash. It has nothing to do with obscurity.
