I care because I believe that companies want to make money. If they're making money, they are happy. Not swiping isn't going to make them happy.
Ultimately, I just really like these current deals and don't want them to go away. I'm also ticked off that these chains don't check IDs so they could curtail fraud. I'm happy to play nice in the sandbox if I can pay some bills with CC.
