Unless you have more money than you know what to do with, I don't understand the use case for agentic e-commerce. Things like Apple Pay feel like the right abstraction, removing the need for manual input of the basics while tying the actual transaction to an intentional signal. Manually typing in a credit card over and over again isn't fun, but that's been solved without needing to give up all power of purchases.

There's nothing I want to turn over to an agent so badly to buy for me that I'm willing to give up manual auth. And based on these numbers, I'm definitely not alone in thinking that way.
