How is that absurd? There is approximately zero consumer demand for stuff like this. Remember when chip cards were deployed 10 years ago and everyone was annoyed at how chip readers forced them to have the card out longer? Or how Amazon often doesn't check CVV numbers because doing do would increase attrition?
Of course a few of the largest banks find it worthwhile to add a page to their website where you can generate virtual card numbers, but it's not a huge win for them by any means even when they're liable for stolen cards.
