Anyone got a coherent summary of the process that forced banks and credit car companies to refuse service to adult entertainment? I understand it's 50% moral outrage \ fear of consumer backlash and 50% political pressure that started in the 90s?

You're missing a major factor that's often left out of these conversations: the adult entertainment sector has a notoriously high rate of chargebacks and fraud, which makes it relatively expensive and annoying for financial services companies to deal with. That means payment processors are generally disinclined to deal with them even before you add in the reputational, political, and legal risks.
