Out of interest, do you live in a country other than the USA?

(I'm guessing you are because in the USA they spell it check, not cheque.)

I asked because the USA still seems to be stubbornly check-focused.

Is it? I lived in the US for 20+ years until 2021 and, though there were definitely more checks than I see in Europe now, the frequency with which I used them was approaching zero, which definitely wouldn't qualify as "stubbornly check-focused".
