It's a balance. Individuals want to insulate themselves against businesses charging the wrong amount or even committing fraud. Businesses are trying to minimize losses due to customers who fail to pay their bill. Hence the use of credit checks, security deposits, prepaying for service, requiring a card or bank account to be linked at all times(1), etc.
(1) I used to use Google Fi. There's simply no option to receive a paper bill or to pay via check.
