I’ve always wondered why was it locked only to merchants, anyone knows?

I can tap to pay someone directly on Android, though it's slightly more complicated to do than simply sending them shit through CashApp or Venmo. Not least of which is the requirement of being in the same location at the same time to tap phones together.
