Me neither. This key fob is mostly for aesthetics. We don't really need aluminum cases either, right?  :p

By the way, "the inner glow pellet never requires replacement. It will glow for many years without degrading".

yeah, It looks like it's a normal glow in the dark, so it has to be in light to charge. The other technology is radioactive material (usually tritium) and phosphorous coating which normally lasts about a decade or two. I don't know which I'd prefer, honestly.
