Yeah TFL killed them off starting 2010 in London due to this. I'm surprised this is even a thing now.

Oyster has been using MIFARE DESfire, and stopped using MIFARE Classic, for over a decade now.

They're stopping it for completely unrelated reasons (primarily convenience – people don't like having to buy and top up a card – and not having to maintain a vending machine and top-up infrastructure).
