Too many horror stories, too much frustration for non-PayPal clients
to get started, and too much difficulty dealing with PayPal in
general.

If you want to sell something online, PayPal only represents a small
percentage of the market - as everyone has a debit/credit card
nowadays, but few use PayPal.

I think being technical skews our perspectives - when you talk to a
non-geek, it becomes painfully clear that PayPal is only ancillary,
and not a major provider.
