I think you have hit the nail on the head. This is not about Apple vs. Google as far as adoption of a standard is concerned. It is NFC vs. another competitive vehicle to make payments like MCX. Apple is interested in selling phones and if they sell Apple Pay as the better way to make NFC based transactions then they win. Google wins as well because they now, thanks to Apple, have people interested in using their phones to make transactions. The real question should be, can NFC compete against MCX and other competitors.
