Can they add a big tax to it once it is disseminated widely or is it kind of designed against that happening?

I think there is a fee for application for access to NFC. Only certain applications are allowed, for which payment is one and building access is another.

We can talk about the App store tax or other gross things Apple has done but to my knowledge Apple has never rug-pulled on something like payments. I can't think of a time they released something for free/lower fee then add/raised the fee. Maybe I'm forgetting something?

Also I think this is related to/create because of the DMA so they are opening it up because they have to, they aren't likely to try to close it down/add fees.

Apple rug pulled on Apple Sign-in but later reversed the decision:

From the press release:

To incorporate this new solution in their iPhone apps, developers will need to enter into a commercial agreement with Apple, request the NFC and SE entitlement, and pay the associated fees.
