Curious to know why the results of a poll conducted aross 28 countries talk about only one country?

Oh c'mon, retailer can at best "not lose" in a chargeback, there's no way a retailer can "gain" from it. Whereas a payor can "gain" or at worst "not gain" from chargeback. No amount of hoops to jump for completing the chargeback process can change that basic point. If you want another fundamental point, it's that credit card is designed to a revocable MOP whether an A2A is designed to be irrevocable MOP. Therefore, at the highest level, it's self-evident that credit card is pro-Payor and A2A is pro-Merchant. 

Now that was only at scheme-level. 

There's nothing stopping other nodes on the A2A network from offering some kind of recourse for wrong payment. And some of them do. In the case of A2A UPI in India, there are nearly 50 PSPs like Walmart PhonePe, PayTM, CREDpay, et al, some of them do offer some sorta chargeback for bad UPI transactions. 

Wild guess: Any payor who uses this feature or opts out of using this feature - basically every payor - and loses money by either paying the wrong payee or the wrong amount will automatically forfeit their right to compensation per PSR APP Scam Reimbursement rule. Banks shouldn't have allowed this Drunk Under Lamp Post rule to have come into existence in the first place. Having failed there, they will try to scuttle it in any way possible as the next best option. Monzo is just the first.
