Maybe they don't want NFC payment alternatives that would rival Apple Pay. And they don't want to restrict it for that use-case because it makes them look weak for artificially blocking out the competition so they just restrict the feature entirely.

Or the security/PR nightmare that would happen when someone used one of those that was poorly implemented and said “I paid with Apple Pay and all my money was stolen!”
