I don't trust Google not to sneak in an unwanted payment. (Or a game fritzing out and doing a payment for me)

This doesn't happen. You can just admit you don't trust yourself not to spend more money.

I already had games tell me I couldn't spend when I didn't order anything, so I'm good this way. No payment method linked to my account without a clear intent to spend that exact moment. Link paypal, spend, unlink paypal works perfectly. (or else when I have cash, buy a giftcard when the amount is close enough to what I want to spend.
