The first of the three primary testnets will execute the merge next month. Current projections have the mainnet merge (the final merge) occurring around August. It takes a lot of testing and validation to make certain that such a substantial change to a network of this scale, securing this much capital, goes off with zero downtime or issues.

  >Current projections That has been the case for years now. I genuinely thought it had already happened because last I heard of it the merge was supposed to happen mid-last year or something. At this point this merge will occur when HL3 is released, that is, never.

    That has not been the case for years now, you're contributing to the perpetuation of a false narrative. Yes, it was originally thought that the merge would be simpler (way back when it was referred to as Casper), and then it was realized it wasn't. Since that time the core devs have been transparent about the timelines. They have not been perpetually saying it's around the corner, they've been providing detailed roadmaps that have taken until now to reach completion. I encourage you to post sources to the contrary or admit that you're simply repeating the common falsehood. Multiple shadow forks of mainnet have been merged successfully and we are now moving into the primary testnets. The final steps are being taken and only something catastrophic will change the current trajectory. The merge will be completed by the end of this year, regardless of what you choose to believe.
