Well, "Hover around hunting for the NFC antenna" is less catchy than "Tap to Pay".
I always assumed the term tap to pay caught on since the early EFTPOS terminals had the NFC antenna in a separate portion of the terminal, or under a non-touchscreen panel, so the tap of a credit card wasn't detrimental to the user experience, and now we're stuck with the term.
