Reminds me of a discussion with someone in Germany some years ago, where I remarked that they didn't have credit-card check-out from parking lots (they always need to go to the machine and pay there before picking up the car). He also explained to me that this wouldn't work, it would mean that there are credit card readers at the exit, and what if someone forgot his card, etc. All kinds of reasons he came up with which either because he had never seen something like this or some remotely possible extreme situation. Completely ignoring the fact that credit card check out at parking exits existed and worked well all over France. Just doubting that something works only because it's unfamiliar, an interesting human trait.
What works for one airline/country etc. doesn't always work for others (or not as efficient as), you are making an assumption here that AF/KL never even considered that option, I find that to be very unlikely and it is more likely they considered and rejected it, for whichever reasons.
