There's also a difference between active policing and being a platform.

VISA and Mastercard have been demonitizing and demonizing random Japanese developers for having the ever-present "actually 9000 years old vampire" characters, even in completely non-sexual settings, citing the reasons being public morals and morality policing. Falling afoul of DEI practices. They cut off funding for political reasons, often HIDDEN political reasons that required research and effort to find. Meanwhile, OnlyFans is a KNOWN issue, they've publicly had chronic problems about it, and they not only didn't even try to shift their focus, they endorsed it!

If VISA had just been a publisher, no one here would care. They're cash in the form of a plastic card? That's exactly what they should be. But instead, VISA decided to be a publisher, to vet and to moderate content on which it can be exchanged, based on specific political values. The moment they do that, they, in the public eye at least, lose all "we're just a platform, just a cash substitute" defenses. They researched Japanese companies to make sure they were western baizuo DEI-compliant and pulled service from ones that weren't. But they actively turned a blind eye to the blatant issues on a corp 100x bigger.
