The white cards are not the same as a garage opener. It is easy for The Villages to control the number of cards issued, and they can deactivate lost or stolen cards. They always know how many cards are being used. A garage opener signal can be copied, with no way to determine who and how many people are using the system. Yes, there are other systems that could be used, but it may require more monitoring to keep track of who can access the gates.
