Paying for services by getting tracked is very easy though. To setup a similar system for payment where you pay for services with actual bucks would most probably be horrible UX and a crapload of new recurring payments to handle.
Unless somebody centralized all this into some Spotify/Netflix -like centralized service.
I used to think this until i tried it. Now i just get an email from each service once per year asking for cash. Most things are either $12 or $24 per year. With bitcoin it only takes 10 seconds to transfer. And i get the satisfaction of supporting the guy who made the tool for me.
I think the real dislike for paying for things is mostly
the hassle of using credit cards or PayPal
the resentment at paying for crap services from corrupt faceless billionaire corporations
the stress of getting roped into more or bigger payments.
With ethical developers of cheap quality tools (which are very easy to find) it’s all easy and satisfying.

10 seconds? Bitcoin?
Yes, try it. There are big advantages to paying for services, over what I’ve said already.
As for payments, it’s usually: each year see email, copy the payment link into mycelium, click send, enter pin code.
Just try it. Pick one service (email is easy) and switch to a small privacy-focused company.
