Netherlands also here so commenting on yours - I effectively never use cash. I don't actually like this (I prefer privacy), but I also know that my own personal actions won't matter a lot.
I moved here a few months ago from Ireland where cash was still around but a fairly small percentage of retail transactions, but _very_ common for paying for services. Every tradesperson I used wanted me to pay cash and would charge me more if I didn't (they were committing tax fraud). At one point I was expected to have €3,000 in cash just lying around for a stonemason.
