Sure, that all sucks, but, at least address handling is actually hard. Dealing with credit card numbers, even if you want to go beyond the basic Visa / MasterCard / Discover / American Express, isn't that hard. Neither is sanely dealing with SSNs (except that most uses of SSNs are insane by default, but that's just a matter of using it as an ID number when it shouldn't be).
