Merchants really do not want a 4% decrease in their gross revenue.

Yes they do, because they don’t have a decrease in gross revenue, but instead a higher gross revenue and smaller margins. But that results in higher profit for the merchant so they go with it.
OK, merchants do not want a new expense that is 4% of gross revenue. Klarna’s TOS currently says a merchant can’t surcharge for it… but Visa, MC et al used to do that too.
