Really think it speaks as much about first mover advantage, incumbency power, tie ins and oligopoly as it does profitability

There’s Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, Google Pay, Apple Pay… probably more that I’m not thinking of. 
There are numerous options, but none that makes everybody happy. And I think that can be said about pretty much anything, the reality (unfortunate or not) is that we can’t get everything to work just the way we want and at the same time expect it to be free.
Can I sell stuff on bst or eBay and accept payment on Applepay?

Not on this BST. But that’s not an issue with the payment processor, that’s a restriction put in place by DFS… there’s plenty of other places we can BST that aren’t restricted to PP, so again it’s about what choice/preference do people have or want to make their priority.

I don't think DFS does not allow other forms of payment. They just restrict that if using PP you must abide by the guidelines.
