That’s fine from a security point of view, even if a bit obnoxious.
People will get their payment details stolen due to the changes around payments. That’s 100% guaranteed. Apple are just pointing out that it’s not their problem.

Oh, bless Apple’s heart, always looking out for us! It’s purely coincidental that their “concern” aligns perfectly with protecting their profit margins and crushing any semblance of competition. I’m sure the irony of a company that has faced numerous privacy concerns itself is completely lost on you. And I’m sure that little red exclamation mark isn’t designed to scare anyone into using Apple Pay exclusively. No, absolutely not. It’s just good, old-fashioned corporate altruism! 😊

Believe it or not, after 20 years of people buying things on iPhone apps, people will assume it’s safe and easily refundable when things go wrong, only to find out that because they paid for something through a dodgy payment gateway in an app on the App Store their credit card details have been stolen.
This will happen. There are thousands of online stores that insecurely handle credit card details. It might only be 0.5% of people, but it will happen and anyone saying it won’t has clearly not paid attention to the cybersecurity world.

I credit Apple in many ways for their choice to design their business in a way that their profit motive often aligns with their users’ interests.
Their app store model for iOS is one of the strongest examples of them not doing that though.
