They are ignoring the systemic manipulation of the entire market against people deemed "undesirable" or that are just poor.

But well, they probably never noticed it.

In an enemy-of-my-enemy perspective, Walmart comes out as the "good guy" here because their market position aligns best with the unbanked/underbanked audience.

Neiman-Marcus is less likely to complain about their audience not having access to modern payment rails; they might kvetch about the cost of accepting a Platinum Amex, but that's a different debate entirely.
