As far as I know, banks/payment processors can be a bit eager to ban certain kinds of content that isn't mainstream enough but could cause reputational damage even though there isn't necessarily anything wrong with the content, so personally I'm not a huge fan of this change. It's hard to blame Valve about this though, because selling such content would probably risk the entire platform in the long run.

They have already used it, or at the very least are doing so, as mentioned in the article. I think Valve just wants to stay on the good side of the banks/payment processors so they don't risk all of Steam. I don't think Valve is doing this to have more control.
