They absolutely should but advertisers wouldn't like that.
Partially true: they want to bring it back but payment processors wouldn't like that (the post i am linking is from the CEO of Tumblr's parent company, who bought it from Verizon in 2019)
Oh yeah, I forgot but I had heard something about it around that time. Shame.
I don't get why credit card companies have beef with porn though...
ostensibly it's because the porn industry is unstable financially, and connected to a lot of shady issues/illegal practices that could open them up to some kinds of liability. (I don't remember which sorts)
