October, 2014 was when Apple Pay first launch.

4 Years!. Apple needs to start thinking how to speed up some of their recent services execution world wide. I know it is better to be right than to be quick. But 4 years is a long time.

For what, If my card gets compromised it won't cost me anything (here) , the bank pays, not I/we, therefor our system is already secure enough.
Very "smart".

But the retailer still tracks your transactions, but not with AP.

Also, banks are becoming much tougher on misuse, so many won't instantly pay without tracking where/how the fraud happened.

Additionally, more security should be praised not left to "don't care, banks will pay me back anyway" simpleton philosophy.
Fraud costs us all money directly or indirectly, and cancelling cards/accounts, identity fraud, mentally take their toll, too. Have it happen to you, and you won't be taking it so casually, when various things you take for granted don't happen correctly.
Fair enough.
