requiring PINs with credit card transactions could cause confusion for consumers
We've been using credit cards with PINs in EU for at least 10 years (country-dependent, some countries have been a bit slower) and I don't remember anyone being confused about it. What kind of confusion are they talking about? Maybe mixing up the various PINs we use (phone, debit card, eID, etc.)? or some other kind of confusion?

Australia has had chip and pin for years. It recently changed to Tap and Go, with pin entry only required for large transactions

Same deal in Canada. Even if the US merchants get this sorted out, they will still be one full generation behind. There are also implications to things like Apple Pay. I used this once in the US and the cashier pulled off the receipt and asked me to sign it afterwards. Why the hell would I bother using Apple Pay if I also have to sign my signature as well? And this was for a small transaction (groceries).
