You realise that in the UK and a lot of other countries people mainly pay by contactless and while you can do that with just your bank card, many link it to Google/Apple pay in their phone?

Don’t equate them not gaining traction in your country with that being the case in general, especially if you’re from the US, where banking technology seems to be 15-20 years behind a lot of the time.
