It is actually faster than fetching the card from the wallet.

I presume you are one of those who walks around with phone in hand all
the time?

My phone remains in a zipped pocket and need unlocking to be used so
takes longer to get into use.

Not significantly if its a finger press. Point the locked phone at the
NfC reader, it asks to be unlocked, touch the fingerprint reader, to
unlock and tap again...

I have to tap to open the phone with my fingerprint, then open the
wallet application. One of the bank cards is selected by default, or I
can choose one. Then, just move the phone to the card reader thingie.

I suppose details may vary depending on what wallet app you use; I use
the one by Google because my bank recommended it, and it is really easy
to use. But in the past I used my bank application, and that was a
nuisance, because I had to open that app with the bank id/pass. /That/
was slow. So I tried once or twice and reverted to the plastic card.

.. for me much simpler than trying to ease a card out of the wallet
where it invariably jams, which I have to do as there are several cards
in there. In most cases I will have also used my phone because it has my loyalty card stored in it as well....

Exactly my case.
