Valve have added a new rule to the Onboarding guide for game developers, noting that payment processors get a say in what stays on Steam.

Newly added rule is:

Content that may violate the rules and standards set forth by Steam’s payment processors and related card networks and banks, or internet network providers. In particular, certain kinds of adult only content.

:/ payment processors strike again (slippery slope etc)

At that point only solution is for Steam to become their own payment processor, since I don't see any huge company choosing to lose money by abandoning mainstream methods of payment customers use.
