Increasingly, yes. Unfortunately. However, there are different cash cultures in different countries. Not every country is like Sweden where physical cash is practically unheard of.

In Germany there is an online service called barzahlen/viacash (they are renaming) https://www.barzahlen.de that allows people to pay cash for online shopping. After checkout, the buyer gets a code that can be scanned by cashiers in certain drugstores and supermarkets, so buyer can pay in cash.

I use cash where possible in order to avoid leaving a massive data trail that inevitably will get exploited. It is a method of self-defense for me.
