That is a non-sequitur argument.  Most institutions are likely using 
payment processors and accounting in native currency to begin with, and 
institutions using actual crypto would still follow their accountant's 
advice likely tracking it as an asset which is already possible. Beyond 
the fallacy, I'm not sure why you seem to think it should matter to 
users or developers here whether said institutions use this free open 
source software anyway.
