You can create a different wallet for each transaction, and do all sorts of complicated things, but nobody does.

Just like you could pay your phone bill with a prepaid Visa each month just in case they overcharged you.

But why isn't it fully automated, like Apple Pay or privacy.com?
Because the main purpose of crypto has been number go up. I suspect monero (which I think is the privacy one?) has something more in that area.
The same reason anything isn't automated: the developer estimates the cost of developing the system is higher than the potential upside. At some point, someone will add this functionality to their coin / platform because they think the potential upside will be worth it.
