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.

  Where do you live that you think you have the same odds of getting hit by a meteorite than of getting hit by a car while crossing the street?
  
  Again, if your phone fails, how do you pay? How do you get identified? Without physical cards?

    I have no need to be identified usually. And phones don’t tend to suddenly fail.

    They don’t, until they do. Or until you drop them and fall in a bad way and break, or until you forget them somewhere or lose them. I mean, I don’t really care, you do you; but you seem really hostile to the idea of carrying a small wallet with your cards while trusting everything to an electronic device that might fail for no apparent reason.
    
    I already got once in a situation where my phone died and having my cards with me made the whole ordeal way easier than if they had to figure out who I were without any kind of id. I really hope you don’t ever get in one.
