Things I want from payment:

- low effort - low interaction

that's it. I couldn't give two hoots about anonymity vs being able to contactless payment (although having to get my wallet out and hold it against the reader is definitely still too much effort...)

Some people prefer cash for a variety of reasons, self control, budgeting etc. Sometimes for various tax reasons. But I just don't see the evidence of the general public caring about privacy on this one.
