That will change when Chip & Pin are common. Instead of just swiping, yes, yes, done, it will be inserting the card into the reader, the reader fails to read the chip, spitting on it, then trying again, and finally entering the pin and yes, yes, done.
Don't misunderstand, chip & pin is something the US has long since needed. But the chips are unreliable and entering a pin on some terminals is annoying. A phone with NFC might be easier than that, just fingerprint to unlock, and then press a single button on the phone.
