Try it - it takes a minute. Really! I've never seen so many people become suddenly incompetent.

Why would I spend a minute when I can do it in under 5 seconds?

There are many reasons discussed here, but the point is that cash is mindlessly easy to use, as it has been for generations.
Do you just shove a $20 to the cashier and go "keep the change"? Or do you start to dig around for that elusive 5c coin from the bottom of your wallet?
In not-US I can just shove my watch/phone/card at the reader and it's done. Exact change, no fuss.
