Why on earth would anyone who visits London 2 or 3 times a year have any
use
for auto-top up?

Because they don't want to fuss around topping up when they visit, they
can just touch-in and go.

Though if they've got a contactless payment card, they can now do this
directly with said card, no need for the Oyster card:

If I didn't already have an Oyster card registered with auto-top-up I don't
think I would bother getting one now. Maybe the OP would be better off
cancelling his Oyster card (can that be done online?) and putting pressure
on his bank to give him a contactless debit/credit card if he doesn't
already have one. At least he wouldn't have to worry about card clash ...
