I agree,

and that credit card token storage is pretty much a fancy name for cloud.
I got into an online argument here on CP about that issue, and everybody was brainwashed into thinking that the secure token method was the way to go, and I was an idiot not to use it.

Perhaps it just programmers passing the buck for the care and responsibility of sensitive data.
