IIUC there is a fraud component to this as well. As a generalization these businesses have an above average fraud rate. This does make it more expensive to support these and it is within they payment processor's rights to avoid doing business for that reason alone.
I think the bigger issue is that these payment processors have a sort of monopoly. Most businesses can't afford to not accept MasterCard or Visa since many North American customers (IDK about globally) will only have these cards, and possibly only one of them.
