>premium cards [are] commercial, corporate, or business cards issued by Visa and Mastercard

Revolut Metal (personal) is not one of these cards.

Commercial cards (business banking, business credit etc) are what these cards are and they have less regulation in the EU.

For instance no cap on interchange fees and they can show prices excluding the card fee and add that on at checkout for business card users.

I'm not saying Revolut Metal is one of these, I'm just saying the card schemes create different segments for cards that have their own benefits, for these benefits the cost is actually mostly going to either the user paying a membership fee or the MDR paid by the merchant to cover the cost. The benefits are not just a freebie given by the issuer or scheme, it's a marketint cost that someone has to pay for.
