  "To deploy or submit an app that uses ID_CAP_WALLET_SECUREELEMENT
   or ID_CAP_WALLET_PAYMENTINSTRUMENTS, you must request special
   permissions and have that permission applied to your developer account.

We are still far away from ubiquitous security.

It would be wrong bashing Microsoft only, this is a generic problem,
including an absence of standards supporting strong authentication for the
masses using security elements of the kind featured in high-end phones.
