Won't the vendors just design their prices in a way that it's economically feasible for them - they just include the transaction costs in the price?

yes, but they're not allowed to charge different prices depending on payment method. so they may factor those costs in - but everyone pays them. doesn't matter if they're paying cash or visa. so as a consumer I don't care about taler's lower transaction costs because I still have to pay the full price. so why should I switch? I'm happy with my visa on my apple watch.
