Surely it's not that mysterious? As someone who does care about and enjoy having obis (though is perhaps not obsessed), and doesn't care at all about registration cards, it's because there's nothing aesthetically interesting or presentational about reg cards. Obi design often complements, and sometimes completes, the outward appearance of the product cover, and might include some unique descriptive copy or minor artwork. It's an attractive, extra little visual embellishment to the overall package. Reg cards don't have any inherent visual value and don't factor into the product design, so it's easier to disregard them.
