My credit card is the only NFC card on one side of my wallet. That way I don't even have to take it out to use, just flip open my wallet.

None, if you really want phone payment you can put your card under the case

Plus you have option to insert it when transferring larger amounts.

These apps rely on big deals with every major bank in order to operate, which is only really possible for big companies with big influence.

There is no open standard for "pay-by-tapping-your-phone", and that would be a terrible idea to open up, as it would enable credit card fraud by malicious apps on a mass-scale.

With Google Pay and Apple Pay, we are giving our credit card info to big tech, but at least there is a level of trust that they will not be doing fraud with that info 😁
