Couldn't agree with you more.

It's very simple really. 

Organizations (and yes, this includes governments) need to ask themselves the basics:-

Are we here to serve our customers/citizens or make like easier for us? 

You see we are missing the point when we don't come to the right conclusions. People vote with their wallets and votes. It's really simple.

They appear to have chosen convenience over public service. I also think It's also a call to developers to ensure such facilities incorporate various options that will enable the public make payments through different means without limiting to a single provider.
