> Many problems related to online shopping cart abandonment can be traced to checkout forms, which can be difficult and time-consuming to fill out...
People stop at the checkout forms because that's often the only place you actually know the price.
There are so many dark patterns adding fees, adding shipping cost, or signup to newsletters, that the only place you know what you will be charged is when you're making the payment.
It's not unlikely that people click through to checkout, just to find out what a thing will cost.

On topic, there certainly are place online where I'd rather use a browser based payment flow that ideally doesn't involve me sharing credit card numbers with a merchant.
I dont know the implementation of this but I have allow website to check for payments disabled. What is to stop every web site from putting this on the homepage or every page? The API says they can get your address info but at least payment info is behind a user prompt.
It's been around since 2016 and mozilla still haven't shipped it. I guess its one of those features where you can fall back to normal forms if it isn't around, but the only time I've actually seen it used was when implementing it on my own ecommerce platform.
