I believe the argument in favor of overdraft fees is that they are essentially extending a line of credit at the moment the customer needs it. As opposed to just denying the transaction outright. I had this happen to me once well over a decade ago, and I argued with my bank to make it so I would just be denied if it ever happened again. They acted shocked as if most people would rather go into debt than be denied.
