I am in the US and I have been using tap to pay for a few years now with consistent success. And as you wrote, if it does not, you just insert the chip. But that seems rare.

I've come across a few places that accept contactless, but specifically reject Google and Apple Pay, and until recently, none of my cards had contactless built in, so Google Pay was the only way to do contactless. But, I have a Samsung phone with MST, so I can fake a swipe. Amusingly, the terminals that won't do contactless Google Pay happily accept the same with the magnetic reader.
