But NFC unchecks the box "Open" since NFC access is usually a prerogative of the native wallet app of the OS, i.e. our favorite US duopoly. By contrast, any device can read or display a QR code. Hence also the success of QR payments in China, where the local app ecosystem is built more or less on top of the Android-iOS native layer.
