True, but chases involving stolen vehicles (a non-trivial percentage of all chases) means that mailing a fine to the registered owner wouldn't be a universal solution.

>AirPods succeed by not selling you a new pair

Shhh! Don't give Apple any ideas.

Next they'll eliminate the 1400 baud modems and then where will we be?
This. Also, remember that from the consumer standpoint, PayPal was the first ever trusted payment processor that didn't pass your payment account info (bank, CC#, debit card info) along to the vendor. Granted, they passed along your email+shipping address. But the vendor would have had that info anyhow if you were purchasing some physical item from them.

So there's a large swath of the consumer population that views PayPal positively and will skip a purchase if there's no PayPal option.
