None of the problems you mentioned with credit/debit cards is actually a practical concern for 99.99% of people.

Adults, maybe, but it is not universal to issue debit cards to children (especially below the age of 16 or 13), let alone credit cards.

It is universal on Sweden, from younger than that. And here most shops don't take cash at all anymore. TBH if I had a shop in Stockholm I wouldn't take cash either. Even public transport doesn't take cash.

On the other hand everybody here has a bank account for free, and free instant transactions between individuals.

This is a problem about rights, not statistics.

Right to what? Not use a credit card? You already have that right.

Not if the society goes cashless for the most part, which is what we are discussing here.

Until they have a conflict with their bank and realize they have no recourse.
