The key purpose of CVV2 was to prevent stolen card use as it is against Visa and MasterCard regulations to store that value. Meaning the value couldn't be hacked from a database and you must have the card physically present to know the CVV2 number.

It's also been plastered on nearly every online order page for years now. Any surfer who isn't familiar with it is either using mommy's card or won't be able to find their zipper and charge it back anyway.
