Cards are automatically assigned a cvv2, I dunno that the printers would print without them, but when the acquiring bank asks the issuing bank to verify the number on the initial transaction, many of the issuing banks are technologically unable to give that answer to them. Thus, unsupported.

Just another of those things that was a good idea in theory but was not strictly enforced and made into an effective control measure.
