You could all have those in a tablet at home with android or ios for anything that you do at home.

I very much doubt you can't pay parking without a smartphone.

There are definitely some parkings where you can only pay with a smartphone. The worst is when they force you to download a shitty app. Super fun when the parking does not have good reception and you have to download an unnecessarily large app over 3G.

I've also been to random parking lots in the middle of nowhere with a cardboard sign saying "Venmo $5/hour at X".
