I have no problem with offering a credit card, but there's an expectation these are disposable. To offer a product like this is so contradictory to Apple's core for the two reasons above, is dumbfounding.

It’s not surprising at all that they released a credit card. They barely make anything from Apple Pay, and this card is another service to keep people in their ecosystem. They’re switching focus to services because people aren’t replacing phones and computers as often as they used to.
The physical card is machined titanium. The guidelines they posted are only necessary to keep the card pristine. If you don’t care how it looks, like any other credit card, you can ignore them and it’ll still work.
I don’t know why it’s getting stained but they’ll change it’s composition before they give up on a lucrative income stream.
