    On the one hand, I admit this is kind of objectively silly behavior.

    On the other, I think it’s valuable to consider these things and the role they play in consumer/user behavior. Convenience is undeniably a major/the primary reason many users don’t do what’s best for them.

      There are always trade offs.

      I would love to main a Linux phone, as I’m sure many here would. But the present trade offs are too great.

      NFC payments are extremely convenient, especially when managing multiple cards - some of which are virtual. It’s a service I had, then went without for awhile, and then appreciate having back again.

      I understand my initial comment makes it seem like I never carry a wallet true - which is not true - is akin to saying “but I just like smoking”.

      It’s great that you don’t find it as convenient, which means the trade off as great for you. However for my 5 days a week commuting it’s a load off.
