I've got lots of credit cards that have apps on my iPhone, that I can lock, that I can make payments on my phone, see transactions,etc.

I'm just not clear what is so special (except for a metal card) about this card?  In a nutshell, why would I want this card when I already have half a dozen other cards?

Why did you want card number 6 when you had 5 other cards?
Why did you want card number 5 when you had 4 other cards?
Why did you want card number 4 when you had 3 other cards?
Why did you want card number 3 when you had 2 other cards?
Why did you want card number 2 when you had 1 other card?

Personally, it seems like a nifty collector's item, but more importantly it's about getting 2% back daily on Apple Pay purchases plus 3% back from the thousands of dollars I spend her year from Apple. Finally, a more tangental desire for this card (but will happen anyway) is getting more people to use Apple Pay (or really any other *Pay service) so we can finally get to a point where not carrying your physical card is commonplace because all merchants are aware fo the benefits and popularity of NFC-based *Pay systems.

I get plenty of cashback/rewards, etc., on the other 6 cards I have.  After filtering out the sarcasm, the "anything Apple is revolutionary" responses and the fact that I still can't buy groceries in SoCal at major chains with Apple Pay yet, it seems it's more or less a card for those who live and breath Apple.  Not for me.  But it looks cool. 

1) That wasn't sarcasm. That was pointing out your foolish comment about how plethora of cards as an argument again Apple joining the fray.

2) I go to about a half dozen grocery store chains in So Cal and they all accept Apple Pay except Ralph's. I won't even use the Apple Card at grocery stores because I get a much better refund with another card. If you also get increased benefit from that specific store type (which seems likely when you're holding a half dozen cards) then why even bring that up as a reason the Apple Card isn't a good option for anyone?
