My thought went: we've already decided to split off Identity because it was fundamental to payments. So if time and resources are limited: don't worry about payments until identity is solved. The payments solution will almost certainly be different depending on *how* Identity is solved. Trying to solve payments in advance may be a big waste of time. And if Identity can't be solved, then there's no real reason to complain about partial solutions that are being undertaken now in Payments by browser vendors.
