Unfortunately (from some perspectives), this isn’t true. Each instance of a card in Apple Pay has a long term Device Account Number (DAN) that functions the same as a physical card’s number (though there is no link between the DAN and actual card number from the merchant’s perspective). The same DAN is used across every transaction. The only way to get a new one (which is pretty easy, relatively speaking) is to unload the card from Apple Pay then re-enroll.

Was not aware, thanks for the clarification.
