I don't think you should stare blind at the CBDC use case. CBDCs can be implemented in various ways, from big payments for a certain subset of high value intermediary transfers to a full scale retail implementation.
A full retail implementation will be inevitable and when it arrives, it'll be bridged and cross-chain in my opinion. Who sets the standard/baseline and educate regulators will be important though.
