No, it will never be used anywhere in any business.
Everything GNU and FSF does is driven by ideology, and there's billions of dollars that will will make sure businesses never use or accept anonymous payment services of any kind of those businesses don't want to be charged with money laundry and all properties confiscated.
But only if they use payment services that are not part of the banking networks with verified account names.
Yet millions of companies accept cash each day and Taler is less anonymous than that as the seller is intentionally taxable.
Contrary to block chain crypto currencies this has a real chance to be adopted as an online payment system and the Swiss central bank already did a study and the result was that Taler would be a suitable system for them.
