I will add my own opinion as a mid 20 year old male myself:

My friends and I do not view all cards the same. There are obviously "top tier" versions of each card provider, and those are the ones that are looked at with "Prestige"

Whether or not those are Visa, Mastercard, or Amex makes no difference. But if you have a Amex Black, or the metal Chase card with no limit, it does come with opinions.

At the end of the day you're right in that a card sometimes functions status symbol, just a less visible one than say a car. But its strength is weakening, and status can't compete with network coverage and fraud protection functionality. Can't wait for the day when we can do away with physical cards altogether.
