Why do they need to address this? Is it their responsability (or, business) where people get the money to buy the keys? Or what they do with the money from the sales?

Taking money from fraudy credit cards gives you chargebacks and poisons your relationship with payment processors.

Transferring value between people requires a money transmitter license, which in turn requires a credible anti money laundering program.

Did you read the full article? Your question is addressed in the second paragraph — the aftermarket for keys was largely used by fraudsters to cash out.

The same applies to gift cards, should they become non-transferrable?
