While that used to be the case years ago, modern CC have substantially shortened the amount of time you have to pay. A frequent traveler out of country may not be able to pay before interest accrues. One of the reasons why I can rarely use my CC and pretty much stick to the debit card if I have foreign travel coming up.
But again this is not the real issue. This is a side distraction from the real issue raised in the OP.
