The biggest reason is Steam would likely lose more money from doing that compared with removing the games the card companies are being assholes about.

Couldn’t people just by steam cards with cash, load load it to their accounts and then make their porn purchases? What’s to stop other retailers from selling gift cards that can be purchased with cash to use on the pornographic stuff being sold? (I’m dumb, please educate me.)

The issue goes far beyond “porn games on Steam”. These same groups tried to ben other games with no sex at all, but “disturbing” themes (to them). They failed, because, big game, big pushback. But their agenda is not “no porn”, it’s “no anything we dislike”. They’re just starting with the thing they hoped would get little to no pushback for now.

Its really odd, cause you’d think they’d just want to make money no matter where it comes from.

the only thing worth more than money to these kinds of people is making other people suffer.

They control virtually every transaction everywhere for mostly everyone, aside from local payment solutions. They already make more than enough. As illustrated here; they ask for some bullshit, and everyone involved caves in, no matter what.
