Monero has done well from the autistic viewpoint of technical accomplishment and crushes most of the competition at meeting the technical goals of Satoshi.
They've failed horribly at meeting the regulatory and political challenges of being tradeable on central exchanges and as a result has met weak acceptance from crypto-friendly legal vendors making it harder to use as actual digital cash.

Cash would "fail horribly at meeting the regulatory and political challenges challenges today". And some countries are trying to make it harder to use.

For business acceptance, I see how it would be hard if it is impossible to use on a CEX. I think that Haveno/RetoSwap will eventually become the preferred and more convenient Fiat-->Monero method instead of CEXs for the avg user.
Overall though I would even prefer to use a stable than a bank or fiat p2p app to send money.

Despite this, everywhere it is accepted, it becomes the largest marketshare crypto payment method, excluding whales.

Pardon, the “autistic” point of view?

That's a good signal that the privacy guarantees are real, no? It's no secret that the main use-case for crypto is skirting the legal system; I'm not sure I understand this desire to make it anything bigger than that. For example, it's extremely hard to Be Your Own Bank because one mistake means you've just lost all your funds whether it's from a scam, malware, or losing your wallet seed phrase. Large amounts of people "being their own bank" by putting their life savings into crypto would be a disaster.

What are they supposed to do? How can they make governments happy without sacrificing privacy?

They should be working with complete indifference towards governments, not trying to make them happy.

Regulatory capture would be the traditional way

FCMP++ upgrade will be huge for sender privacy bringing Monero's technical strength in line with ZCash.
The new site[1] looks great as well; it was funded by the CCS.
