> If it was about some "religious anti-sex work movement," then the credit card companies wouldn't still process payments for the legal brothels in Nevada. Which they do.

Don't know about brothels, but even in the strip clubs I went to years ago they didn't process cards. Instead you had to go to the corner ATM with ridiculous fees to withdraw some cash.

The strip clubs I went to as recently as three years ago all took cards. The ATM in the lobbies were only so you could hide the charge from your wife.

Only the seediest strip clubs I've been to don't accept cards, and in every case it was because they'd had too many chargebacks in the past.

I think your conclusion is wrong.

I am also aware of many other businesses that refuse to take credit cards, and work cash-only.
