Now, now… calling extra security steps for online purchases ‘extremely painful’ and ‘economically detrimental’ seems a bit excessive.
In fact, I think these steps may be there just to make people feel more secure about buying online (this would totally work with my mom, who after many years of visiting me in the USA is still afraid of giving her card to the waiter in a restaurant to pay for dinner).

It was always a shitty security model, it led to a lot of fraud, and it was one of the design principles of Chip and Pin to eliminate it.
