payy as the intermediary layer makes sense — abstracting the on-chain to LN bridge so Square doesn't have to own that complexity.
the bigger signal is making LN default, not optional, for 4M merchants. that shift matters a lot in markets where card rails are expensive or sparse — caribbean, africa, latam. when the POS just works with LN out of the box, consumer-side adoption follows. this is what normalization actually looks like.
