just because it's funny to see people whine about a feature over 99.5% of users would never utilize.
The problem here is that one have to start and initiate the demand.
If Apple, Google, Samsung, HTC all together would team up and bring ONE standardized NFC solution into their smartphones able to intact with existing protocols that would open up for new options.
Once these smartphones are in the market the opportunities to use will grow too. It's a bit a chicken-and-egg problem ...
I would think that 99.2% of user also don't use Passbook; though its a feature available and that's fine. Keep it there until the markets adopt to it.

i charge mine when i'm sleeping so no benefit
That's very much the same as many will do. I have to plug in an iPhone, iPad and iPod touch ... That's three power plugs and three cable. Getting rid of that would increase the usability; the pure comfort.
