Cash is only “less convenient” for the banks and businesses that would prefer to track you. A cashless society is a society fully stripped of privacy, a society where poor people are guaranteed to stay poor, and where only the rich can afford privacy and security.
Regularly going to ATMs / banks is demonstrably less convenient for both consumers and businesses and safeguarding the cash presents a security risk, especially for small businesses.
But the alternative of digital payments comes at a huge cost to privacy.

That’s my point.

I wasn’t contradicting you, I was agreeing with you.
