how long a lack of major infrastructure downtime

I think we've reached the point where normies are so accustomed to using electronics to pay for everything that the habit is lost for a good portion of society. So yes, definitely many people have been conditioned to live digitally. Hence I mentioned a natural disaster scenario as a reminder of the strong utility of cash.

With that said, there are segments of society, typically "working class", that have strong intuition to preserve cash usage. It seems like many even insist on using it out of ideology, as a "dumb" way to retain some type of self sovereignty.
