Someday, in the distant future, humans will finally develop sufficiently advanced technology to have credit cards which don't need to be manually updated everywhere every five years when they perpetually "expire".

I don't think this has anything to do with tech. Reason is security.

I wonder if it's more of a physical thing like the card not working 100% of the time due to years of wear on the strip or the chip.

That would be a reason to periodically send you a new card, not a reason to make you change your CC info at every place that currently charges it remotely (obviously without the strip or chip, because they never had those things).

Still same reason. Imagine someone steals your cc info and keeps making clandestine purchases with it for decades.

I don't find this a realistic scenario, anyone would just immediately cancel their card upon noticing charges they never made.

Also, I don't find it very reassuring if the security model is "we let people fraudulently charge your card for a long time, but not more than five years". Uh, OK...

if card eas renewed yearly, y'all would riot. it's not the only security measure, of course, but it's a final safety net.
