Platforms overall don't take a stance for moral reasons but for perceived monetary reasons. If they believe they'll lose more money from users or advertisers leaving due to certain content than they gain from that content then they will get rid of that content. Whatever brings the most money will win in the end. Artists, as best I can tell, hate AI image models with a passion so presumably Kickstarter was afraid of losing a lot of campaigns from artists.
