How do they think the rest of the world coped (who have been using it for several years), or are they really convinced Americans are stupider than the Canadians, Europeans etc? Having been through the transition to chip+pin once in my life, it really wasn't that big a deal. There were some people that forgot their pin, but it made up a tiny fraction of the population. Heck, anyone paying for goods in US stores as debit already type in their pin at the moment. It just changes how you put the card in the machine.

Customer service. Americans are used to signing their stuff, they will
lose their PINs and have to have them re-sent to them. They will need
to wait for their assigned PIN in order to use their card at all, as
opposed to just being able to use it as soon as they get it.

Do note that EMV (aka Chip + PIN) cards are rolling out in

Pedantic: My understanding is that the vast majority of chipped
cards in the US will be implemented via "Chip + Signature", not
"Chip + PIN".

Because we always gotta be different.
