To be clear about who is cutting off who, it's the Japanese merchants cutting Visa/Mastercard off as far as I can tell.
They got so sick and tired of being nanny'd by Visa/Mastercard that they judged the loss of those cardholders is worth the reduction in obnoxious overhead, and I don't blame them.
Meanwhile, AMEX (and Discover/JCB/Diners Club) cards are still accepted because they just do their job of conveying money.

Particularly given that DLSite made the changes to their keywords that Visa/MC had presumably objected to, it looks like they were trying to play ball but Visa/MC still cut them off.
