Supermarkets and other larger stores by now have them pretty universally, as do fast-food chains etc. (which is why I haven't really needed cash anytime recently). I'm honestly not sure what the causes for the rest are, it could be that the debit card terminals are harder/more expensive to get for a small restaurant/bar and credit cards alone just isn't worth it? There is not yet an underlying cultural assumption that you'll accept cards as such a place, it mostly just catches tourists off guard, so they don't loose that much by not having it.
What I can't remember ever seeing here are these readers that attach to phones, but I don't know how common those are elsewhere in small shops.
