What convenience does a digital wallet add that a card cannot do ? isn’t a digital wallet way less safer given that mobile platforms are the least secure ?
You would be easily able to find someone willing to butt chug an entire bottle of bleach before you find a single normal human that gives a single flying fuck about the security of their phones digital wallet out side of lemmy and the most shut in circles of nerdom.
It’s just not a real argument, care or reality.
Is that a problem? More then likely yes. But is it the reality of the situation.
Phones are something people already carry around. Most young adults don’t even keep their IDs on them anymore and just have pictures of them in their phone.
I work a job that requires frequently IDing people at a gate. In the last 3 months out of over 10k people only a handful even had their wallet on them while driving.
I’m just handed their phone with their gallery open to their id.

Be part of phone. People don’t like cash cuz you have to lug it around. People are dropping cards for digi wallet because then they don’t have to lug card around.

If my card would be stolen, the thief could pay some amount without entering the pin on a contactless terminal. On the phone you can’t pay without touching the fingerprint reader, so it’s more secure from at least this common atttack vector

No one outside of lemmy cares.
