They'd probably like it in that light. Less fraud to detect with crypto payments. No charge backs are possible.

Chargebacks are a safety-net on top of payment systems. It gives peace of minds to users.

I don't think they will launch a full-fledged cryptobacked anything, but if they do, chargebacks are a nice thing to support to boost adoption.

I don't disagree, but consider how much more useful is the ability to chargeback in a pull-based system where anyone with a semi-public piece of data (your credit card number) can take money from you, versus a push-based system where every single transaction must be initiated by you.
