They could do it with significantly fewer people, for themselves and even for GOG, Itch and potentially others. Their use-case is digital payments for games, which is limited in scope and risk. PCI and compliance is a PITA, but manageable.

It sounds like some payment processors are treating mastercard's contractual requirements as a hard risk in this case - maybe it's justified, maybe not. Try getting corporate lawyers to be risk averse in the finance world. Mastercard doesn't seem to want to soften their wording but talks platitudes in public statements. Shrug.
