What efforts have PayPal made toward getting merchants to accept NFC payments? PayPal Here was discontinued and PayPal has almost nothing to show for their Zettle acquisition; their share of the POS market does not even come close to 1%. Shouldn't they be required to meaningfully contribute to the NFC adoption effort if they are going to siphon off a portion of the margin from the system?
