  1. What if my phone dies? What if I keep it in airplane mode? What if I don't bring it with me? What if I don't trust the apps to charge the right card?
  2. What if I want to lend the card to my college-aged kids, home for break? Can't give them my phone.

There are loads of reasons.

For one I'd just tap my credit card on those occasions but I guess 2 makes sense.

You missed the part where I said my transit benefit card (pre-tax commuting funds) does not have a chip.
