Also why would i lose my phone?
If i misplace it at home, i can use find my to ring it. Can’t do that with a wallet.

If you leave the wallet at home and lose the phone or it fails, then you’re still with no documents or cards. Just because it never happened to you doesn’t mean it can’t happen. I got in a car crash when I was returning home from my job and the phone got destroyed. I was able to be identified and my family located because I was carrying my wallet with ID, national security card and driver’s license. It’s an extreme case, but it can happen. It could also fall in a bad way and get damaged… I’ve seen too many phones (fortunately not mine) decide to fail their user in the worst moment to trust them exclusively.

This is why you always have to carry physical ID when you’re driving.
Yes it has happened to me before. Just less often than losing my wallet when i used to have one that didn’t attach to the phone.

Yes. But you said that you can leave your wallet at home, hence leaving all your documents on it and carrying just your phone. You can get involved in a car crash without driving by being a passanger or simply someone walking on the street or biking.

That’s not your responsibility though. The hospital will still treat you at the ER

You can also be hit by a meteorite.
But it’s unlikely, just as it is unlikely for most people to need physical cards.
