The same group was targeting Detroit: Become Human and GTA. Will the card companies go down that path? Maybe, maybe not, but going after the easy targets is the first step.
Okay, but if so, let's be explicit about making that tradeoff. Also, let's not pretend that "ban all NSFW games" either was asked for or would be acted upon.
It's quite telling that there's a grand total of one (1) specific game people keep suggesting be unbanned. Given the number of games affected, a rare false positive is only to expected.
(Apparently itch.io temporarily took steps against all NSFW games, which is only to be expected if they have no way to immediately know which games are pedo/incest/rape games since they've chosen to let them flourish for so long.)
Have you ever read fundamentalist christian reviews of films or books? They will absolutely go for the stuff you value. It is not actually possible to make them happy. They invented graham crackers because they thought normal foods were too sexually evocative.
I think some are really afraid of the fabled slippery slope, but yeah, the gaming world is home to a very dubious bread of pro CP, sex obsessed (as in “every media I consume must make me horny”) and misogynistic punks. Edit: not making any claims regarding the size of that population, most gamers are just regular people enjoying some escape, like me
This issue should not be brought up on the basis of them denying service to selling, not just porn, but some of the most extreme types of porn. Because this content is something harmful and immoral, there is not any moral obligation even for a duopoly to serve their sale.

If someone has inclinations toward such things, I'd rather they get their release through playing a video game.

This whole debacle is making a lot of people show their true colors. Grim.
It sure is. Mainly bootlickers and bookburners though.
