Difference is a plastic card that is lighter and smaller than the phone is just as effective as the phone is for payments. When it comes to audio, a car stereo is going to be much more convenient and brtter quality than a boombox or bluetooth. That said, i did know someone with an older car who used a bluetooth speaker instead of their stereo, so they could connect their phone audio.

I don't know about where you live but here contactless card payments have lower limits than phone-based ones. Also the phone allows me to switch between multiple cards, including transit-specific cards.

In the US IME there are not restrictions on card spending that are a barrier. In UK I had to sign for a purchase over £100. Extra 10 seconds.
In UK, my credit card was my transit card. I find it easier to navigate my physical wallet than a phone for such things. Personal opinion.
In any case, banking apps that don't function on graphene should be embarrassed by their stupidity. Amex forces sms/email 2fa to login on my graphene phone, when chase, fidelity and several other bank apps do not.
