I actually get annoyed each time I see these new banks, credit unions etc added. What difference does it make when relatively so few merchants accept it. Great idea but epic fail thus far. I tried to use it as a business that supposedly accepts Apple Pay but they didn't have the necessary hardware and the manager had no clue.

While technically there was a deadline for merchants to support Chip & NFC payments (beginning of October last year), most US retailers have been unbelievably slow to implement it, most having not yet. Target & Walmart have it (whoop-de-doo, Walmart is just awful), and some small independent merchants & restaurants have it (including my favorite local Thai place), but other establishments just haven't gotten it fully deployed yet. Publix & other grocery chains, most clothing retailers, etc.... nothing. They've got the readers, but they're just an extra slot on the bottom of the card machine. Lots of it seems to come down to the chip-compatible software provided by vendors not being ready, so merchants are bound by the vendor companies they work with. The "requirement" has no teeth, no penalty for not having it ready, so what's the incentive? Like you said, many merchants aren't willing to give up all the info they get, and there's no incentive for the transaction vendor to encourage the process.
The penalty for swiping the card versus using the chip or NFC is that the merchant is responsible for fraud versus the bank or card issuer.

... Along with a list of 45 new merchants who have partnered with Apple Pay.

Oh wait, who am I kidding?, they don't care about your privacy and payment security... It's all about their bottom line, and part of that bottom line is stealing your data to make money.

I think that the growth of merchants is too slow. I think it is too easy to blame one side or the other. Perhaps there should be a period where some sort of incentive is offered to customers who use apple pay that is subsidized by apple. Something like 5% off if you use apple pay up to $X off, where apple pays the 5%. Short term, maybe the 3 months after a merchant begins accepting apple pay. The merchant gets a bit of a bump in sales, the customer gets a little something back, and apple gets more people using apple pay.

I'm no business man, but I have worked retail and I know the lengths customers will go for even 5% off. I also love apple pay and would love to see it in more places like gas station and grocery chains.

I think Apple is in a tough spot when it comes to merchants, since anything they do to get merchants to turn on their NFC terminals or move to an NFC supported terminal (not sure how this hasn't happened, aren't the Chip and Signature requirements already in effect in the US?), also helps Google, Samsung and any NFC enabled card. And as was stated earlier, merchants don't want to give up the information they gather from customers cards.
