The very idea of “physically unconstrained cash” is relatively new to humanity so there are some unknown unknowns, but even then I think the issues are obvious by now.
The necessity to handle a physical object limits the scale of potential upsides (help relatives, etc.) and downsides (scam people, etc.) of cash—and it might have transpired that, with that necessity removed, the downsides and exploits are much more sought after and outweigh potential upsides.
