In any case, if ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 want to charge people
extra for exhibiting their programmes in public, who says they should
not be allowed to do so?

AFAIK their broadcasting licence prohibits any charge being made for
reception.

That's a matter of opinion.

To whom do the pubs make their payment when showing channels received
by RF? Or when showing FTA BBC sat channels that require no card?

They should have the consent of the broadcaster and should be making
payment to the appropriate authority.

The cards clearly say "property of BSkyB" on the back and come on a
card that specifies that they do not belong to the user and must be
returned.
They cannot be sold.

But do they? And why should an extra payment be necessary for an FTV
card when the money doesn't even go to the rights owners?
