There are two main reasons companies will block types of payments: material downside, like high chargeback risk, and reputational damage. It completely makes sense that certain things should be relegated to working with pmt processors who have structures designed to manage and be compensated for that risk.

Instead, we should expect the companies who engage in those activities to shoulder their own burdens rather than pushing that risk off to others.
