Well, if this takes off the way I think it will, Apple will definitely use it as a selling point to get non-iPhone users to become iPhone users. If it looks like that's not gonna happen, though, don't think for a second that Apple won't find a way to migrate this technology to other platforms. Keep in mind that Apple will make money from every Apple Pay transaction; iPhone or no, it is in Apple's best interests financially for Apple Pay to become the new standard in electronic payment.
Google won't hesitate to populate Apple's ecosystem with their solution. I use Google Wallet (at "paypass" terminals) and with "token" details aside, is totally simple to use. Walgreens and CVS always has 'em.
Also, Apple gives the impression that buying stuff is the only use for NFC. I hope they don't limit it to just that.
