At best, it's neutral from my point of view. Seat belts and the polio vaccine, on the other hand, can both save my life. I don't see how you can compare the two.
Even if my bank honours every chargeback claim I file, I will save time if I need not file any chargeback claim in the first place.
Also my card will have to be replaced less often - "higher availability"?
