Just get Beeper and a Linux Matrix Client and you can communicate with iMessage, Telegram and WhatsApp users without having an Android phone

Tap and pay or paywave are the best thing to happen in mobile IMO. I don't even carry a wallet anymore. I had having to carry a phone and wallet. Now it's back down to only have to carry one thing. Perfect
That is a lot of faith in the technology. You don't worry about a dead battery? Cracked screen? Phone getting stolen out of your hand in the subway?
Sounds like pure hell on mobile.
Also, not everyone is willing to use fingerprints, so there's that too.
Willing or unwilling is per person and bit different question which is out of my interest for now.

How is security defined? What is your threat model? If your threat model includes includes running random native binary blobs from random places like Android or iOS does, then yes, you can definitely consider it unsecure.
But that's NOT the target paradigm here, and if you consider it is, you're throwing away 90%+ of the GNU/Linux distributions out there. Last time I checked, running GNU/Linux on servers or desktops wasn't considered bad practice, quite the opposite.
Instead, it may be more secure than iOS, depending on your usage, because the paradigm is to install only opensource software that you actually trust.
