It’s extra effort and embarrassing to select lower or no tip when the cashier and other customers are looking.

That's the intended dynamic.

You are being pressured into submitting to being overcharged.

According to the WSJ, not so embarrassing that people are tapping the top button that much. After a while people are just done with it.

(And while this probably isn't a major factor, it backfires for people like me. By default I tip higher than most of the canned buttons.)
