If that stuff is accessible digitally online then it's already at a
higher risk, regardless of encryption level.  How often do you read or
see on the news that the most protected data has been breached by
privacy thieves from thousands of miles away?  How often do people get
their identities stolen from a random database?  At least my wallet is
in my direct possession and no one will get their hands on it unless
they have direct physical access to it, and that would only happen if
I'm mugged or careless.

 
Apple Wallet data stored in iCloud is end-to-end encrypted, and Apple
cannot access it. You're also in full control of whether Wallet data is
synchronized to iCloud at all. Where's this "privacy nightmare"?

Knowing history, I wouldn't doubt state actors have long ago cracked
Apple's encryption given almost nothing Apple makes hasn't been cracked.
