The most common scenario in which I've made NFC payments to non-fixed points of sale is with street market stalls. Food trucks and the like. There, vendors would prefer to have a cheap NFC terminal to take card payments than have to leave a much more expensive phone within public reach to take payments. Opportunistic thieves wouldn't find much value in an NFC terminal even if it isn't very cheap.
