Because sometimes the dam credit card companies freeze your account when you travel and having the affordable transit option rely on having a functional credit card screw you over when you want to go to the bank to fix the issue. Also minors don't typically have cards nor asylum seekers. not to mention that cards rely on connection to cellular networks that fail an unreasonable amount

Not really. Just buy something at the airport.

Also minors don't typically have cards

Not true, not in the UK anyway. And minors young enough to not have cards don't travel alone.

nor asylum seekers.
