Even if patreon & friends are ok with it, they still need to avoid businesses that visa & friends do not want on their payment networks or will only allow them for a large cost. And by derivative what major regulators do not want on payment & banking systems or without a lot of onerous paperwork and gotchas.
The classic example in this is porn, and now it's fringe right wing things.

Removing porn from your platform might be necessary depending on your business model and target audience. - Websites that will commonly have minors will usually avoid the risk and outright ban porn. Still, it's not like they wouldn't take it if they could. Steam for example has recently started approving porn games.
