For some people, it may actually be a big deal. There are people who don't share your views regarding FTFs. They may be in the minority (at least on this board), but they exist.

Furthermore, if the banks thought FTFs were costing them money, they'd disappear rather quickly. Since there are still a lot of cards that have FTFs, we can reasonably conclude that FTFs are not costing the banks a significant amount of money.
