you can go to an airport, which has never closed, and buy a ticket in cash
you can purchase things in cash at Walmart, Target, etc. which has never closed during the pandemic

This has not been true for some time. Ticket counters require payment cards.
I asked about purchasing things online because it's not safe to shop in person at the moment.
Even Amtrak is now not accepting cash anymore:

Looks like the only option left is drive a car and fill up at gas stations which accept cash (for the time being). I'm not super familiar with EV charging stations but I don't think I've seen one that accepts cash, if that's any hint as to where we are headed.
