Actually it's more like going to the supermarket and just telling the checkout operator your card number and details and expecting them to give you your groceries without seeing the card.
Hobbyking want to see the card to prove you actually own it, the photo is not much use to a scammer as they specifically ask to only see the last four digits and your name, not the dates, not the security code, not the full number. Considering how big Hobbyking are the time, trouble and lost customers from people who refuse is a lot cheaper than losing money and goods through credit card fraud.
