that hasnt been being enforced for a long time, so if something's changed it'd help Mastercard's PR quite a bit to point to a government order or something.

Otherwise yeah it's a mastercard thing

It's still a non-trivial legal liability that any major company would prefer to not have.

If you could spend $1 to eliminate a 1% chance that you're going to be arrested, you're probably gonna take it.

You think they're gonna go arrest John Mastercard because someone bought recreational marijuana from a vendor in a legal state?

I think a risk-averse corporation may decide that it's not worth bothering with.

At any rate, it's their own pockets they're hurting.

no, payment processors blocking transactions for your business is definitely hurting more pockets than their own.
