I would even go so far as to say cash and physical paper should be supported by any business and government department.

I believe there's laws in some states that require cash to be accepted.

This is usually mostly circumvented by demanding "EXACT CHANGE" though. In most states, there are sales tax at several levels that don't apply uniformly, so it is nearly impossible or too time-consuming to use cash, because you simply don't know how much you'll have to pay.

Why does the company not give you an invoice for the exact amount?

It’s a Federal law and written on every bill, “this note is legal tender for all debts, public and private.”

That pertains to debts - it’s legal to have credit/debit only stores; you see them at times.
