I know this might just reflect financial culture differences across countries, but let’s give it a try

Edit: as a clarification, I meant credit card compared to debit, not to cash

    American here, 99% of the time I use credit cards. It’s just generally easier than carrying cash and nearly all vendors accept it. Beyond that I get a % back as points to trade for gift cards or in my case plane tickets. Another item is that if I get robbed I can quickly recover or head off any lost money.
