Yeh I agree there is a lot of friction, bank try to reduce their risk, and have to pay their staff and make a profit.
The hassle/risk of cash is losing it if you leave your wallet behind somewhere or (hopefully only) a low risk of theft, but the risks of having cash is probably worth it to make your money go further and lose less money to fees.
