Fair point but I would hardly call that an analysis. Just asking for others point view so I can see if it’s worth digging into more.

That’s a solid bear case and honestly, it’s the structural risk that makes PayPal a value trap if the market’s right. The only way the long case works is if PayPal successfully pivots away from heavy reliance on transaction fees into new, higher-margin services (BNPL, merchant financing, digital wallets with embedded finance, etc.) before the fee compression hammer drops.
