The main disadvantage that I see is the quarter-laundry machines were pretty easy to modify so that you didn’t need to pay them. The whole app thing appears to be a lot more difficult to hack, the coin machines can be disabled with a screwdriver.
I do not miss broken laundry rooms. They never stopped at disabling the quarter machine, lets get them quarters that are in there! “Oops, we bent the frame and the door doesn’t close until someone comes to fix it.” Good times. These good guy hackers you remember running around dispensing free gas and blowing up ATMs never existed.
BTW, there’s still a quarter machine for people that want it.

My building mysteriously had the wonky coin payment system bypassed after the landlord began to truly embrace his inner pos and stopped fixing them. I feel the other tenants enjoyed the benefits of having the only functional pair of machines in the complex at the low, low cost of press the button more than I did.
