>I highly doubt any banks or credit card issuers would do this themselves if given access to NFC tap-to-pay.
Yeah, that's just more FUD around "Apple protects consumers therefore they should be able to do what they want", very topical atm. Idk why people glorify Apple and expect them to protect consumers when we should really be asking this of our governments (ie GDPR, the way that governments hold banks to particular standards) this is something the EU should push harder and expand on, imo - rules that are applicable to all companies.
What's interesting is Apple's evolution in their marketing of privacy+security, because it's not something they've always done and it seemed to have started when they realised all their competitors have fragmented platforms and that Apple can compete since they do not need the revenue from onselling consumer data.
