> "How do you go from ‘Apple is offering a new payment method’ to a rant about how you don’t care about privacy?"
Because some other people started ranting about cashless payments, payment processors and their privacy.

Because that's how other people put it. I was just raising the point that we shouldn't have to give up QoL improvements, instead push for more privacy-focused laws, like limiting PII-data being sold along with transaction histories.
Apart from your comment and its replies there’s only one other conversation containing the word ‘privacy’ and its about how people want to be able to use cash so the credit card company can’t see all of your purchases. Doesn’t sound too unreasonable to me (nor does that appear to me to be limiting you in any way) and I don’t quite understand why you didn’t reply to them instead of posting an apparently ‘opposite’ rant.
