The good part was you didn’t have to open your window.
Why couldn’t we have this instead of the card?

Because those are gate-restricted communities. The Villages is not.
Our roads are public roads. Anyone has legal access to them (with VERY few exceptions such as that Hickory Hammock area near Spanish Springs). The gates - are property of the Villages. The roads that those gates cross are taxpayer-owned roads.
You don't have the /right/ to duplicate those cards or card codes and bypass the system to give non-residents entry. You don't have to like that rule, but that's the rule. Y'all are such sticklers about the deed restrictions and how no one in your neighborhood should break any rules, and then they'll have nothing to complain about.
Well - this is a rule. If you aren't breaking it, then you have nothing to complain about. You knew about the gate cards when you bought your property. If you didn't like it, you shouldn't have moved here.
