why do casinos offer 6:5 blackjack payouts when everyone knows it's a ripoff

Every time I’m at the tables and see 6,5 blackjack, I wonder why people bother. House edge just jumps up and nobody at my local spot seems to care. The floor says players actually like it because of the “easy rules,” whatever that means, but I think they just like that it’s open more often. I keep running into it at live dealer casinos too, especially the crypto-friendly ones, so it’s obviously working for the house. It feels like a quiet ripoff that’s become normal.

I’ve noticed a couple of my poker friends don’t even check the payout signage when they switch games, especially if they’re buzzed or moving fast. Do any of you intentionally play 6,5? What’s the reason it keeps sticking around if everyone knows the math doesn’t work out for the player?
