So, then do not allow any apps the NFC permission... problem solved.
The point is, Apple should not be the one dictating what users can and can not use;
Example: on macOS you can disable SIP. 99% of the people i know do not even know what SIP is, nor that this possibility exists. However, if we/Developers/researchers/etc. want it, they can choose to do as they like. Which is really useful.
Researchers should not be limited in finding (security) flaws, neither should users be limited by Apple to use their hardware as they wish.
