Couldn't agree more, they are obviously just trying to grab a piece of the pie. At first I thought they were either trying to get their hands on some ''cheap'' crypto by ripping their customers off with fees, which would translate into moar crypto for them than what they paid for, or this was just a publicity stunt on their behalf. Or both.
You must sell any Crypto Assets in your Cryptocurrencies Hub before closing your Cash Account and Cryptocurrencies Hub. You will not be able to transfer Crypto Assets from your Cryptocurrencies Hub to another cryptocurrency wallet.

This is a very bizarre way of offering crypto services, isn't it?
First, Crypto Assets will be sold for U.S. dollars in the amount of your cart total at the moment you select Crypto Assets as a funding source.

That's the worst part. This makes it more than obvious that it's just a marketing ploy. Some would argue they are doing it to tackle any tax problems that may arise due to different legal approaches from country to country, but the service is only available in the U.S. for now. So I don't really get it.
As you said, it's all about profit.
