I suppose it’s just a matter of perspective. “Needs to” is a bit strong imo. Do you carry a license? Those are generally not available digitally. Also what about a worst case scenario where your phone is dead, broken, stolen, or payments are not working?
You can still use Google pay on a smartwatch even if it’s paired with a grapheneOS phone if that interests you. I use an oura ring for biometrics so I don’t have a smart watch, but that’s one factor that tempted me to ditch the ring for a watch.
I also just don’t think it’s legit practically speaking. Plenty of shops, gas stations, etc do not support apple pay or Google pay, so what then?
I don’t remember the last time I brought my cards with me. Needs to be on my phone.

“Needs to” may be a bit strong for you, but for me it’s legit. I will NOT switch to an OS without Google Pay, Apple Pay, or Samsung Pay.
If my phone is dead, broken, or stolen, I use my watch.

That’s great, I still need primary on the phone with backup on the watch.
I have not encountered a place that doesn’t accept Apple Pay since I stopped going to Walmart years ago.
