Isn't NFC just used as a method to pair a phone?

Near Field Communication (NFC)
If equipped, Near Field
Communication (NFC) allows
compatible smartphones to be
paired to the infotainment system.
To begin the pairing process:
1. Refer to the smartphone’s user
manual to verify it is
NFC-compatible.
2. Unlock the smartphone.
3. Enable NFC on the
smartphone if it is disabled.
The NFC icon should be in the
status bar of the smartphone.
4. Hold the smartphone 2.54 cm
(1 in) or less from the NFC
sensor located above the
infotainment screen. See
“Instrument Panel Overview” in
the owner’s manual.
5. Once pairing begins, a pop-up
message with a six-digit code
will appear on the smartphone
and the infotainment display.
6. Select Yes on the smartphone
to confirm the pairing process.
A chime will sound when
pairing begins.
Multiple smartphones can be paired
using this technology.
Functionality varies by model and
region. Full functionality requires
compatible Bluetooth and
smartphone, as well as USB
connectivity for some devices.

I asked a factory rep "whats the big deal" and he said its just a quick way to connect the phone. Underwhelming, not surprised its unnoticed.
