Debit cards are hidden financial infrastructure
Absolutely, but there are so many people in the USA that are excluded from the ability to obtain a credit card - even a secured one - that debit cards are a god send to us.
Both Cash App and Venmo sent me debit cards without requiring any ID.

Even though you didn’t provide ID, I assume you provided a name, address, and other info they could use to perform KYC (Know your customer), no?
