"Not an issue with bitcoin" = you have no recourse, as a buyer, if you get ripped off by an unscrupulous seller.

You make some good points about cash back and gas, but you can't deny there's value in the extra layer of protection between you and the merchant provided by the credit card. I don't know whether it's worth 1%, but it's not worth zero. BTC payment is more like handing a stack of notes, not payment via card.
