Perhaps it's better to specify which parts of the world, I'm assuming you mean US and Canada versus Europe and China.

Meanwhile, most developing nations (which make up a majority of the countries in the world) still operate primarily on cash.

Canada is at the forefront of contactless payments. Most Canadians had a contactless physical credit card before Apple Pay came to Canada. Because of that, most people in Canada don't bother to set up their phone; they just swipe their physical card, no pin or signature needed for lower amounts.

In Brazil even beggars accept money through their phones and everywhere there's contactless payment.
