I'm not sure where you live, but cash is certainly no longer king in Tokyo. It's still alive and there are plenty of people that prefer it, but it's used for far less than half the transactions I see everyday. And I'll go months forgetting to refill the just-in-case cash in my wallet and never run into a situation where I would have needed it.
