Payment Handler API is a draft. We do not claim that is supported interoperably in multiple implementations. Of course we aspire to that. > What is worse is that the WG have not spent any cycles verifying that you actually can build payment applications that are competitive with the mobile native payment apps that currently "own" the market. I am aware of multiple experiments with Payment Handler API. It is not accurate to say that there are no efforts to see how to use the API in payments systems.
