> the US and Europe, there is an ultimate goal of try to force people to use e-payment systems to get some kind of regulatory benefit.
Maybe I misunderstood something but it's not my experience at all. People use e-payement because it's convenient. Contactless + small amount payements was the last nail on the coffin. I haven't used cash for years but I think people can still do it if they wish.
> Therefore people also constantly push back for fear of excess control, and the government tries to mandate it to force only digital payment.
Haven't noticed much push back form general public (besides in some circles like HN)
