In that sense, every cost is passed to the consumer. But in the case
of credit cards, only the guy using the card gets the payback.

After all, if every cost were simply passed to the consumer, why are
United and U.S.Airlines in bankruptcy court?

Bingo. They are not passing all the costs along, ant that means they are
not charging as much as the service costs. Hard to imagine why they are
losing money.
