That "woth careful use" is carrying a trillion dollar industry on its back, sadly. Clearly society is in fact not careful.

Not really. The people that pay interest on credit cards are the ones that pay for the luxuries/points/rewards of those who use credit cards wisely. If I get a 0% apr credit card for 18 months, i put all of my expenses on it for 16 months. I put that equivalent cash in to a high interest yield savings account (HYSA) and pay the card off before it’s due. I pocket the difference since the bank just gave me a free loan.
