Maybe the simplest law to make it less of a shit deal for society is forbid the forbidding of charging different prices for cash vs card. Or something halfway, like forcing card companies to allow price differences up to x% of their charge.

Agreed.

If I want to use cash, why should I subsidize any portion of the credit card company? I don't see the logic of a half-measure.

I firmly believe that corporations (and other collectives) do not have rights, individuals have rights. This is a prime example where refusal to regulate corporations harms individuals.
