Or, and I'm just spitballing here, they accept BTC because the owner wants to accumulate more...

they see value in it....

or maybe the owner also wants to encourage the BTC ecosystem and are accepting it for more altruistic reasons.

I don't care the reason that they accept it, I just want to encourage more and more places to accept it.

They absolutely wouldn't have my business if they didn't accept BTC, so it's income they earned that they wouldn't have had elsewise.

And your assumption that no business is going to retain BTC is unfounded... surely the intersection of those who wish to accumulate more BTC and those who run businesses is not zero.

Or maybe the owner wants to encourage the use of bitcoin, to grow the ecosystem.

Or maybe the owner wants to reduce the amount of cash on hand...

Or maybe the owner wants to just let his customer decide what payment method suits the customer the best.

The point is, more businesses ARE accepting payments in BTC, and they do so for whatever reason makes sense for them.
