I agree. Allowing your card to simply wander off and then return 10 mins later is going to be a thing of the past pretty much everywhere by the end of this decade.

It still works this way in Singapore and I haven't had any issues with my cards (the only ones I have had were with a Singaporean company not securing its stored data properly). But sooner or later it will be a case of paying at the table everywhere (or just paying by the counter upon leaving the restaurant).
