I don't see that as a real problem. Because as it is now, credit cards are something poor people should avoid at all costs.

No, it's a thing idiots should avoid at all costs.

A card with a 2% reward across the board(Fidelity for instance) can be used as a proxy for your debit card week to week.

It builds my credit, gives me a group of attack dogs to sic on anyone who rips me off, and gives me a cushion if I ever need it. If you never exceed your expenses and never reach beyond your means, it's no different in consequence than paying with anything else, with a little added bonus credit and reward.

It's people and their lack of self control that ruin credit cards.
