I think it’s a generational thing, my take is teppay is initially aimed at young users who grew up with smartphones and don’t have credit cards, that demographic is the biggest user of QR, they don’t care about tap speeds like old fogeys
Replying to @Kanjo
Suica brings a different expectation, though. If you’re used to tapping, opening a QR code can feel like an extra step even if it matches other QR apps on speed.

nimoca isn’t on mobile but users can recharge the card on the run w/the nimoca app registered credit card from 11/16
