I think you're referring to a society that uses cash a lot, right? something like Japan, I think there are benefits such as privacy in transactions, it helps financial inclusion and also encourages autonomy and sometimes also savings by being more aware of spending every time you pay for a service/product, although as we already know it has quite a few negative things .

In order to perform digital transactions, there should be internet, and the payment gateway should be able to make a lot of transactions every second. There are a lot of technical glitches related to digital transactions. cash transactions bring various activities such as printing notes, moving notes, destroying old notes and all of these activities involve cash spending.
