From my comment

> Sure cash should be accepted in shops selling essential goods. But other shops should have the choice.

That basically covers you whole list, except if your argument is that gaming PC parts shop should absolutely accomodate cash in case homeless people need an RTX3060 over the weekend.

Also fundamdentally a bank account should be a legal right (it is in many countries, if it's not in yours it's a more critical debate than cash), and with it should come a debit card. Sure some people won't be able to use it for a reason or another, but they can get help. The same way not everyone benefits from cash.

Who are you to decide what other people should consider essential?

I don't, we have a definition of what's essential businesses. That's how it was handled during the covid lockdowns, shop owners know where they fit on this line.
