Sounds like the banks haven't thought through their processing of Apple Pay fraud. Since the Primary Account Number (the one printed on the card) hasn't been compromised, there's no need to actually change that number and reissue physical cards. What should be happening is that the Device Account Number (the one Apple Pay presents to the merchant) should be changed.
