lol accepting credit/debit cards (online or offline) does not have tens of thousands in maintenance and implementation cost for the merchant, have you ever ran a business?
Accepting bitcoin on the other hand does increase cost + complexity significantly.
For the large retailers it does. I've implemented credit cards several times for them, also PCI compliance is a pain.
For small businesses it could take much less cost to implement.

How is increasing revenues inconvenient?
It doesn’t matter, the cost to implement and maintain accepting bitcoin are far greater, not even considering the additional risks merchants have by accepting it with regards to taxes, regulatory compliance, volatility etc. And for who? 100 people?
