As a comparison the WebAuthn/FIDO folks provide ample of public sites requiring no registrations or programming at all. See:

Thanx! I wasn't aware of this. I does currently not work on W10, right? :(

Since the spec is of the type "blue sky" it is impossible (for me at least) to know where it lands. An FPWD at the end of the year seems pretty unlikely.

Well, there is a very simple explanation to that, SPC is designed to suit vendors, not the market in terms of merchants and users who are facing an ever-increasing number of "innovative" payment options.
The real issue is actually quite simple: How does SPC compare to Apple Pay? :)
