To be honest, my stereotypes for the Apple-buying demographic led me to believe that such a decision wouldn’t be controversial.
I guess the company thought the same.
EDIT: First news article I could find out it says that the company representative clarified that only a single digit percentage of their customers pays by cash. So maybe not that controversial after all, just that naturally only those who experience the change have the need to write about it.
Bargeld. lol.
That’s not the only reason they’re complaining. But while adding options is good, taking options away isn’t. There are many, many reasons some people prefer cash.
Also, bricks-and-mortar businesses are not allowed to refuse to accept cash. Some people don’t have access to cashless options for one reason or another, and they cannot be discriminated against.

[Well, not accepting cash in a brick and mortar store would be illegal.](https://www.bka.de/SharedDocs/FAQs/DE/Falschgeld/falschgeldFrage01.html)
