I generally think CBDC's are dead in the water, & any attempt to compete with what makes bitcoin marketable will fail miserably. If Twitter & social media giants can't even make a decent payment implementation becuase of regulation and restrictions, then there is no way they will take the veritable revolutionary leap necessary to just let people use it. They will grasp for every last ounce of control and surveillance restrictions and issuance manipulation they can go for.

In fact, the only reason it even seems to be *interesting to them in the first place* is specifically because of the control, surveillance, inflation, and manipulation they can impose. In other words, I think a CBDC that has ANY of the valuable attributes of Bitcoin is 100% unmarketable to central banks and governments.
