Similarly, many ATMs do not ask if you want another service after
you ask for cash. Considering that most people just want cash, the

too many choices (have you seen how long people stare blankly at the
screen when asked an unexpected question!).

They had problems with people taking the cash and leaving the card
behind, so the default now is to make you take your card first; only
then the cash is dispensed.
