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! 😊
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.
