All three of your last points are a non-issue if you have the right bank. DKB allows you to use your Visa to withdraw from any ATM, worldwide, without any fees. I'm sure there are other German banks with similar offers.

No more wondering if an ATM is part of your network and end up with outrageous fees. I see an ATM, any ATM, I can use it to withdraw cash, simple as that.

If you go for cash as part of protecting privacy etc. it seems contrary to suggest that you have to pick a specific bank in order to ensure convenience of paying with cash.

Surely retaining your privacy includes being able to choose freely who you do business with?

I'm merely saying that these ATM issues don't have to apply and I'm pretty sure there are other banks offering similar conditions on ATM withdrawals.
