That's a cost to creditworthy customers whether you're willing to admit it or not. It's not a scare tactic; it's simply true.

I don't understand why this guy would say this. Right now, just the opposite situation exists. Those who carry balances, exceed their limit or pay late are subsidizing those who pay their balance each month yet reap airline miles, free hotel rooms or whatever.

Those who pay off their balance each month are getting interest free loans while those who carry balances are paying 24% interest and paying $39 late fees for being one day late. That's their problem, but don't make it sound as if they are being subsidized by those who never pay a dime in interest.
