How is Cash "Inconvenient"?

Someone here told me it was. "Inconvenient", that is. How? Are those plastic dollar bills really so heavy? I've never had a credit card, nor have I ever bought anything online; I've only ever used cash. It's convenient (yes, it is), safe, anonymous and real.

There are a few places here that won’t accept cash anymore.
Much of it began with the pandemic— fewer germs.

Another reason stated is that non-cash businesses are less likely to be robbed, less likely to encounter counterfeit bills, or deal with employee theft (which is sad). Also faster service and less bank hassles for them.

It’s inconvenient for me, so while I understand, I tend to avoid such places.
