With the "supposed" date of the ETH merge approaching, what do you think is truly going to happen?

As the title says, the clock is ticking for the rumored time frame of the inevitable merge from POW to POS. We all know that this has been continually pushed back for years, and many expect this to continue. I'd be interested to hear your guy's opinions on the subject. Personally, I believe that another delay is inevitable, simply due to the fact that hundreds of billions are on the line. There is no reason to rush such a major switch when a failure could cause competitors like SOL and ADA, to pass you in usage.
