From my opinion it clearly seems that the payment processors got scared and preventively banned those games while saying it was network rules, while the network refutes those claims.
Your original post sounds like a nitpick about the term “processor”, not about who is actually responsible (which you aren’t actually certain about either). Idk, maybe elaborate next time.

afaik Valve and Itch have not disclosed the names of their payment processors, so no way for me to know, and companies could lie anyways
sure, but far too much trust is given on some journalistic sources which just spread a potential lie without checking further
