I don't know why Patreon started escalating in the past two-three years, or why they stopped turning a blind eye to things they politely ignored unless they had no choice due to other people's actions... but this is not exactly a new thing.
Plenty of banks and money handling services do not want to be associated with certain aspects of the adult industry. They put pressure on places like Patreon, and even actual adult sites like Nutaku, to conform to certain rules in terms of content. It's why Nutaku almost never got off the ground back in the day, and why early on their selection of games was so ridiculously limited it was not even funny.
However, something definitely changed a while back. Probably ownership somewhere close too, if not right at the top, and that led to the current situation.
Additionally, it's not just adult-content-creators that are having a hard time... which makes it even more strange because it doesn't look like there's a clear unifying theme about why this is happening.
