While there are certainly downsides to digital payments (or at least the current implementations of them) such as dependency on the banking system and surveillance there can be no doubt that electronic payments are more convenient.
The problem with cash is that there are two separate steps which need to performed in separate geographical locations: 1) Getting the cash (from an ATM or a bank) 2) Spending it
What people want to do is #2 but with cash they also have to spend time travelling to some place to do #1. You can optimise this by carrying large amounts of cash to reduce the frequency and time spent doing #1 but that has obvious downsides (like risk of theft)
Using electronic payments doesn't force anyone to "go faster" it just spares them from having to do "busy work".
