That's a great shame as it reduces the plastic-card-bloat in my wallet.
Also a slap in the face for early adopters.

Not really. You, like loads of other early adopters, just guessed the
technological direction incorrectly. Early adopters of any technology
really have to expect this to happen occasionally, and stop whining
about it.

I'm not the slightest bit ashamed of adopting a technology which
promised to combine two logical cards within one physical one. It's
still a useful parameter, unless you are a vendor of even larger
wallets.
