According to EasyJet's payment information policy page, cash is not accepted:
https://www.easyjet.com/en/policy/payment-options
Payment for bookings can be made using a wide selection of debit or credit cards (please see the payment stage of the booking process for cards accepted). We do not accept payment by cash or cheques.
Yet another page states that cash can be accepted for in-airport sales, but it
doesn't say that such payments
must be in cash which would indeed be odd as you noted.

Cash payments can be made at all easyJet sales desks located at the airport
