clients paying usdc on eth mainnet (who pays the gas?)

why do US teams still refuse to pay on L2s? Every time I invoice in usdc they send it on ERC20 and i lose like $40 just bridging or sending it to Binance to offramp. Is it really that hard to just fund a safe on Arbitrum or Base? Trying to figure out if I can push back on this on my next contract or if i just have to eat the fees.
