The products are going to be more expensive for everyone. Would you rather have a card that offers 2% rewards points or one that doesn't offer any? You are obviously better getting the points.

I understand how it works. I'm taking a bigger picture view and saying that if nobody had points, everything would be cheaper than if you had gotten the points in the first place.
Obviously in the current climate, a card that offers points is going to be more competitive than a card that doesn't, but that doesn't mean that points aren't a mind-bogglingly stupid proposition to begin with.
