You'd never sell this to people unless it was part of some bigger system that let you load your travel pass, building access, car access, maybe even contactless payment systems onto it. It'd have to be universal, completely reliable and completely risk-free.
And it'd have to come with some substantial therapy for my proper anxiety-disorder-level phobia of needles. I need that therapy anyway because I have to be given drugs before I'll let anybody stick a needle in me for any reason at all, but fortunately nobody's making a giant chip-inserting machine compulsory.
