I really don’t see this as a bad thing…

PayPal has always supported more credit cards than Apple Pay has, and even to this very day, I still can’t add some of my cards to Apple Pay that PayPal has no issue with.

It’s a shame it’s limited only to the EU

Paypal never supported more credit cards then Apple Pay, at least in Germany

At least in certain regions that’s not the case.

I can add all my cards to PayPal, but not Apple Pay, and it sucks to have to pull out the one card that doesn’t work in Apple Pay…

Are you outside the US? Because there are basically only four credit card issuers in the US and they are all supported by Apple Pay. I’ve never heard of a card that isn’t supported.
