Cashless automatic pumps that require a deposit are rare

But getting more common. The ED in Oberzissen now have one pump with a payment device and Oberzissen is in the back end of nowhere.

As an almost completely illiterate (in German) English person I prefer the pay at a counter thing because the usually pleasant person behind the counter can just accept the payment. This is good because getting a phone out to translate the instructions often results in an irate German shouting at you.

Weird I've never ran into any angry Germans shouting at me for translating things

Probably cos you haven't been translating fuel pump instructions using a phone...

Which is, to be fair, the only place it has happened to me (hence i prefer counter service)
