Of course, all of this requires that the music-system-or-snack-vending-machine would present their credentials, Jolla would check them, and somehow trust them.

It would be anything new, if they would implement those features by TOH. Basically it can be achieved by NFC along with some other components I would expect the phone to have without TOH.

1.
Using it with a music player reminds me of the presentation of Nokias Lumia phones. The exact workflow you describe is realised with a combination of Qi-loading, NFC to action the devices music player and BT for audio playback.

2.
Drink vending is being pushed by manufacturers and providers via NFC.

3.
Security and privacy are the most concerns I have about those technologies as they are implemented right now (with NFC and alike).
