Is that really true?
ATMs were first in Europe and Japan, BACS in the UK is older than ACH in the US.
I think this is more about lack of coordination (i.e. political reasons) than something like a natural first mover disadvantage.
German debit cards for example simply had both stripes and chip for the transition period.
