Why is the US a special case though? Every other country replaced these old card machines more than a decade ago. Every other country has airline ticket counters too.

My fruit stand at the farmers market figured out how to accommodate a credit card reader. They did not have to replace any furniture. They literally have no counter space, and managed to make it work. A portable card reader with a pin pad is a solution that can work in all the hard cases.

The rest of the world figured this out long ago; this is already a solved problem.

Oh 100%. The problem is solved. The hard part is not solving it, it’s just work to do it.
Airline ticket counters…
Replacing is not as simple as sending a new terminal. Then you’d have to integrate it with the legacy software workflow and modify the existing furniture at the airport to support a pin pad.
Also, we have your ID and you are going to be cleaning security, so we’re pretty certain you say who you are. Regardless of the physical security of the credit card.
