Why is it problematic? Maybe they don't want to be associated with those things or involved in them?

It's problematic because the ability to conveniently and send and receive money without using cash is vital in modern society. It effectively acts as a utility. Utilities don't get to pick and choose based on their execs' valuable opinions. The bar should be at refusing illegal transactions and always allowing everything else. Their purpose needs to be serving people and businesses, not dispensing moral judgements by banning businesses they don't like from participating in the cashless economy.
