There needs to be a lawsuit against Visa because PayPal stoped authorizing payments to steam in certain regions?

For unrelated reasons, yes, but I’m considering the possibility that payment processors know they’ll be asked to prove they aren’t facilitating illegal transactions, and may have asked Valve to make purchase details available to them for that purpose. If Valve agreed to remove content from the store instead of blowing up user privacy, that would be a win.

But it might just be the PPs being dickheads.
