    How do people use the feature? Since I can't think of a case where I would use this, aside from a child wanting to buy something without the parent needing to put their credit card details on the kid's device

                Oh FFS.

                WHY?!

                Do they want more scams? Do they get extra revenue and engagement from scams?

                They get extra revenue from sales. If they're scams, well that's okay too, as long as they get a cut.

                    It's not about the money, it's about the wonderful experience of hundreds of payment requests from random users.

                            They're not scams, they're surprise purchases

                                  That's probably a good thing, I'd be calling them all poor cunts every time they requested money.
