Maybe customers should stop paying by credit cards, in case the RSPs steal
the numbers and use them fraudulently </irony>.

And this is where we disagree. The admin contact should be the domain
registrant. The potential for abuse is too high otherwise, and the
only way to straighten out anything abusive done would require what
could be prohibitively expensive legal action.
For all intents and purposes the admin contact has full ownership of
the domain name, even if it is not legal ownership. They have all of
the powers as if they were the owners, including the physical ability
to transfer it a third party without the knowledge or consent of the
domain registrant.
