No, they don't want to admit to being a porn site. Tying themselves in knots with silly rules like this means they're just a gateway for people to promote their OnlyFans pages.

There is clearly value in the experience of being able to see the person playing the game. It might even be inherently important to the gameplay in some circumstances.
