As much as I'd love to, ain't going to happen. KYC payment and non-voip phone number lets them minimize the number of cheaters. That would probably be the official PR reason from them when it's more about building a profile of your gaming taste and habits and selling that data to 3rd parties.

if they are doing that, monero support would not make that harder to do

they need a phone number to sign up wnd are properaitary. shouldnt those be more focused on before talking about payments?

TBH I think pr0n and cam sites should lean in to Monero.
