PayPal only supports tap-to-pay in Germany. Curve Pay supports tap-to-pay on GrapheneOS in the UK and the whole European Economic Area. Many European banks have working tap-to-pay too, and the trend of those replacing their independent system with Google Pay has subsided. It's mostly a non-issue in Europe but there aren't similar alternatives for most of the world. Japan does have their own alternative which works on GrapheneOS with Japanese models of Pixels.
