Sure, but aren't other cards designed for that? I mean, I really have to look to see the marks on my plastic cards. And none of my cards has, as in the Apple card, picked up stains.
It seems like the problem here is Apple's fetish for a pristine, minimal aesthetic not meshing well with the realities of how credit cards get used. And the "please don't use it normally" is a pretty classic tech industry, "No, you're USING IT WRONG". Which I've never understood. I mean, if I'm not making something for actual people to actually use, why would I be trying to sell it to them? I do plenty of just-for-my-own-entertainment coding, but I try not to inflict that on others.
