"Not catering to it" and "refusing to allow anyone to build a solution, even if they're willing to put in the resources" are very different. On Android, if Google's wallet thing has a limitation I don't like, I can easily use another NFC payment app.
Also, this isn't a missing feature but an arbitrary limitation, so again, Apple doesn't need to "cater to it", just raise an int in the source code from 6 to 20 or whatever.

- cnst 5y agoI imagine it might be a hardware limitation? I couldn't find any details about where it comes from. They might be storing private keys in physical hardware; but then why does each card has to have its own private key, why not share all of it together? It's blatantly absurd to have that much extra security for something that's fundamentally insecure anyways.
