I guess the problem is that some charge a 10%+ fee for card usage. That shouldn't happen, honestly.

No, they can't do that either.

From the TfL link above

"Since 13 January 2018 it has been an offence for companies, including private hire operators, to charge their customers a surcharge, or extra, because they are paying by credit or debit card."

Or see this news story.

Seems to be quite a new rule. Last time I was in town was in December last year. Good improvement I’d say!
