As entertaining as that is, it does raise the question - why do they put all of the details on the back now?
I thought one of the main reasons that the CVV was on the signature strip was so if a card was photocopied, photographed, or carbon copied (literally on carbon paper), then it was still less possible to clone the card.
Is “physical” cloning so small of a problem now that it’s more beneficial to make fancy looking cards? Anyone in the industry able to shine a light?

It’s literally because vain idiots kept posting pictures of their credit card online and getting defrauded.
It depends. I got a new MasterCard debit card last week, and the numbers are on the front. Only the CVV is on the back.
Awesome. I miss the raised numerals on the front of the card.
I don’t. I find them hard to read.
