Those payment methods and countries with silly regulations will get left behind.

“Left behind” i.e. this API will work for USA only. Don’t be silly. The point of browser APIs is that they work for all/most, if it’s only Apple Pay and Google Pay they solve nothing.
Heh, when I started working in the payments space, I had fleeting moments early on where I caught myself thinking something similar.

I soon realized, however, head-in-the-sanding the other current use cases and their complexities would be an amateur mistake.
