You still have to hit the NFC coil by a few millimeters, it's a pretty comparable motion and effort.
And it takes longer than it takes an Aldi cashier to give out change.
You don’t see the value because you don’t know what’s possible. For example you asked if you ‘swipe’ a ‘contactless’ card so you must not know what other countries’ cards can do. (You don’t swipe it - that’s the whole point - it’s without contact - contactless.)

No they benefitted but so did we - not everything is a zero sum game and sometimes everyone can work together for society make progress but someone needs to nudge.
