ps: I just checked, this is probably the most American interpretation of bike packing.

You can do the same routes in different ways, if you pick a remote route (wild) camping may be required, if you pick a route in a densely populated area you can find places to stay near the route easily. Pick about any European route and there tend to be plenty of accommodation options. Though not aimed at cc-touring, https://cycling.waymarkedtrails.org provides loads of options that in the large majority of cases are cc touring suitable.
Each listed ride has its own page with bike hire companies, accommodations, restaurants, etc. listed. I recently did a 5 day bike tour on the Hauraki Trail.
My take is the pushback on credit card touring as a concept is from people who think their way of recreation is the *correct* way, in the same way that road cyclists looked down their noses at mountain bikers in the 70s and 80s, and how alpine skiers did the same with snowboarders in 80s and 90s.
My view is that if someone is enjoying themselves, if someone is out on a bike and having a good time, what do I care how they do it? They are doing something that is challenging and/or fun for them.
Full disclosure: I was an insufferable douche in the 80s about road cycling vs. mountain biking. My views have changed.
