There is a lady on Tiktok who has an NFC chip implant and she uses daily in her house. While I personally wouldn’t get one, the way she uses it makes me understand the appeal. It’s pretty cool. If you search the chip girl on TikTok her account and videos will come up. I believe her name is Burgundy.
