They`re just credit cards with the ETC chip built in. It`s a sort of bonus on top of the normal card. You still have to be applicable for the regular card to get one though, as the ETC chip just charges to the credit card.
The way you worded it, it sounded as if the ETC card was easier to get - it is only if you already have a credit card, as you have to have a credit card in order to have somewhere for the ETC system to charge to.
You can get all sorts of cards with things built in - like Suica, Waon, etc. But you have to be able to get the card in the first place. It`s no easier.
