Everybody will. It's the new standard connection in north america. They don't really have the choice so the sooner ther better.

So is my Bolt gonna be harder to charge on roadtrips in the near future if everyone is going this way?

A necessary part of reaching a universal standard.

Honestly not a big issue. The vast adoption of the standard is going to make it much easier to find charge points as they will always be compatible. This is a good step in the wide adoption of ev's. It was bound to happen anyway.

Using Ultium probably required the switch. GM isn't going to be installing one connector for their vehicles and a different connector for these Hondas. At this point everyone needs to just switch and be done with this nonsense. No reason to prolong the confusion.
