On Reddit in the discussion thread https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/q3udz3/unpopular_opinion_el_salvador_president_mr_nayab / user u/vbuterin said that “there is nothing unpopular in this opinion”" noting that "the mandatory adoption by enterprises of a certain cryptocurrency contradicts the ideals of freedom, which are supposed to be so important for the crypto space."
Vitalik has a point though, there's no freedom anymore if one is forced to accept bitcoin, however, I do understand the stance of the government, they were the first country to legalized bitcoin and it's not only for the purpose of it using as a payment system but their interest is to benefit from its adoption which is to profit from their investment.

They keep buying bitcoin and therefore they will also make sure that people under their regulation will use bitcoin to ensure that the growth of bitcoin as an investment.
