> Why hasn't US achieved the level of digital payment smoothness that China has been able to? This isn't unusual. Because of legacy issues, latecomers often enjoy superior infrastructure. For example, US is still on 110V despite all the disadvantages. |

Could go into that? IIRC, 110V is less efficient but it's also less dangerous, so maybe it's more of a trade-off.
But your point stands. I've read that the reason Estonia's government infrastructure is so much more advanced than the US's is because they had visionary leaders and started from scratch in the 90s. The US has the weight of decades of good-enough paper processes weighing it down.
