EDIT: Arguably "insurance" is actually an artificial problem creates to justify the cards' fees. The intentionally didn't implement CC chips for the longest time, insisted on signatures, and now support insecure things like contactless payment - thereby ensuring theft/fraud still exists and necessitating insurance (for a very marginal increase in user convenience)

The only plus side I can see is that you can buy stuff from shady ass websites and sleep comfortably knowing you can do a chargeback later.
