Interesting. As a counterpoint, I was in Norway a month ago on business and as a tourist. Did the Norway in a nutshell thing from Bergen to Oslo with time in Bergen, Flam, and Oslo. I used the Bergen and Oslo day passes for unlimited public transport in those cities. The later was especially handy, as it generates QR codes for both public transport and entry to most museums. My travel passes were handled via barcode docs on my phone. My tickets to a concert in Oslo was via an app on my phone. Route planning for site-seeing (which bus, tram, ferry, or rail) was via an app on my phone.
I paid for restaurants using credit cards directly to payment terminals.
I found the whole experience very easy and enjoyed how much I could handle on my phone.
Went to several restaurants, took the train, stayed at a hotel. I didn't have to use my phone even once for anything.
As a tourist, the only adjustment I had to make was how comfortable things were and polite people were.
