Because the T charges more for Charlie Ticket rides compared to Charlie Card, it has a perverse incentive to make the cards difficult to obtain.
This is exactly what is happening: cards now available only at certain hours at certain stations on certain days.
They should just sell them at marginal cost.
In contrast, if cards and ticket fares were the same price, the T would have incentive to encourage card use to save ticket printing and card stock.
