On board catering: Which routes should (or shouldn't) provide it?

Which is necessary given the cost of buying even a simple adapter in there.

As someone who goes through earphones and charger cables at a stupid rate of knots I totally feel that pain

Just for clarification, Apple Pay does not require an online authorisation, as an Apple Pay transaction is not considered as unverified - the customer verifies themselves through their fingerprint in place of their PIN number.

This is why Apple Pay is permitted to support transactions of theoretically unlimited value, where it is properly supported by retailers (for example, Waitrose accept up to £250 by Apple Pay, I believe Boots are the same, and in an Apple Store you can pay an unlimited amount using is).

This is quite incorrect. An online authorisation is required for all Apple Pay transactions outside of Transit merchants to verify that the customer still has enough money in their account and the card has not been cancelled.
