As this person says, not only are credit card companies tightening their restrictions on adult content, but restrictions on adult content targeted at minors are also being strengthened worldwide (for example, the UK's Online Safety Act).

FFXIV's CERO rating is "C."

Therefore, in order for Square Enix to comply with FFXIV's CERO rating, it is obligated to regulate Mare, which has a mod sharing function and poses the risk of adult mod users sharing adult mods with minors in the game, in order to prevent minors from coming into contact with adult content.

Not only that, adult mod users seem to have no qualms about posting images of obscenely modified FFXIV games on Twitter and Instagram with the tag "#FFXIV."

People who don't play FFXIV would likely assume that images tagged with "#FFXIV" are provided by the official website.
