Dumbphone maybe not. But a Linux phone that is fully functional and eschews the corporate app eco system? Yes please

I admit I would miss tap to pay tho

Stick your credit card under the phone cover and you have tap to pay.

true. Though I don't know how you'd lock it behind biometrics.

Above 25 or 30 USD (don't remember exactly) my bank requires me to enter the pin, that's just as good.

Although you should be using an RFID blocking case to hold your cards.

I thought I would miss pay to tap, but then I realized there's another device that supports pay to tap. So instead of taking out my phone to pay, I take out my credit card
