You're replying to someone talking about contactless card payments, and you're talking about mobile payments. They are not the same thing.

Contactless card payments and mobile payments are the same under the hood. It's just ISO 14443 at the end of the day. Mobile payments are just Host-Card Emulation (HCE).

GP originally replied to my comment about contactless payments, not cards. In the US their adoption was synonymous.
