I absolutely agree.
This is why I call out Apple. Either they're a marketplace that should resemble the public square (and thus include adult content in their app store). Or they're one company amongst many competing for customers - in which case the iPhone should allow other app stores. I don't think they can play it both ways.
Visa and Mastercard are also guilty of this. They often make it very difficult for adult performers to get paid with their policies. If they're like the public square for money, then they should allow any customer within the bounds of the law. If they're a businesses competing, then we need more competition. POS terminals should be extensible and able to support newcomers to the payment space to allow for more competition.
