Tell that to every business that charges a 3% service fee on all card payments, because that's happening whether or not they allow it.
I've never seen a place that charges you a fee only if you pay with a credit card. The credit card company rules say you can't do that and they'll threaten you vendor status the same way they threatened Valve and Itch.io.
I'd love to see it happen, because I have many utilities that openly state there's a service fee for card payments.
