If 3DS and chip + PIN card usage were ubiquitous, the value of a stolen card number and even card would be zero, and this entire problem would go away.

Unfortunately, legacy deployments have just proven too pervasive to effect real change, even with substantial incentives, especially in early card adopting markets such as the US.

Aren't they ubiquitous and required at least for 5-10 years now?

The US essentially uses neither 3DS nor PINs.
