Secure enclave doesn't have to be single software locked thing. They don't have to give every app unconditional access to securely executing code either nor giving access to other apps' data. Users can choose just like they choose their camera permissions to access RFID / NFC and each wallet can get a prioritized access to those services.

Afaik, the security enclave is treated as if it was owned by the manufacturer, not the consumer. It's also used for DRM, which is arguably anti-consumer, and giving any app access to that would effectively reduce the strength of DRM.
