Is this really any better than Apple/Google pay? Those are already set up, trustworthy, I don't need to convert my fiat into a cryptocurrency than can swing in value wildly, and it's super easy to set up with stripe or any of the other platforms that the website is probably already using.
Clicking the "Connect My Wallet" button is kind of fun. But I feel like I've gained nothing over just using my credit card -- in fact my credit card provides me (as the consumer) tons more benefit than using ETH -- and don't get me started on gas fees!
One can imagine a world in which this is completely transparent to the end user.
High ETH gas fees are also being solved by Layer 2 solutions which get fees down to cents by either batching transactions or doing the work off the main chain and posting only the proofs to the main ETH chain. Checkout zero knowledge rollups, aka zk-rollups.
