Do you think no one else should be able to build a mobile payment service? Should banks be block from making, say, ChasePay?

It's fine to prefer Apple Pay and to choose Apple Pay even if there are other options. The question is, should everyone be locked into Apple Pay vs choosing Apple Pay because it is better than ChasePay?

I don't think nobody else should be able to build a "mobile payment service", I just do not care and I do not think this is about consumers.

If it was just up to me, the "mobile ecosystem" would just burn to the ground.
