Most countries, let alone the USA, do not have a system like UPI.

That UPI was agreed upon by enough people was a happy accident for India.

Whilst not quite UPI, the UK has a pay-via-text (sms or Whatsapp) system that nearly every person has access to but barely anyone uses. It amazes me how people naturally gravitate to card-based payments, even when Visa and MasterCard are taking a cut.
