I believe the issue always was they'd have to use Tesla's billing infrastructure as there are no screens etc on the superchargers. I hear you though.

  The standards based version of that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Charge_Point_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Charge_Point_Protocol I've no idea if Tesla use something similar. Certificate built into the car.

    Nope.. and every other vendor is having issues implementing it. The ID.4 from VW is awaiting a software update to enable plug and charge. Tesla's is proprietary.

      Ford Mustang Mach-e has plug and charge. Some users are having good luck with it, but quite a few are experiencing issues. It mostly works at EA locations.

        Exactly.. it's not the "no-brainer" it should be at all yet... and it's been this way for quite some time.

          Hardware people can't do software. Tesla is more of a software company than any other car maker, that's why they'll win.
