I'm not paying $50-150, and futzing with some idiosyncratic offering of a small company, just to maintain magstripe-compatibility when magstripes are rapidly on the way out. Carrying a couple fallback magstripe cards for the last days of magstripes isn't a big hassle. Carrying tons of magstripe cards when there were no other options – 5-10 years ago – is the only problem these seem to solve.
