Yes if you're trying to use SEPA from the US I can see that, no issue there.
But from the perspective of a very euro/german centric CCC[0], SEPA is really not complicated, and almost certainly free (I understand that a few banks still charge for those but most don't, possibly to a limit). So that's likely a blind spot of theirs: SEPA is probably the cheapest and most straightforward method for 95% of their donations or more.
Even more so as this is the central organisation, but the CCC is mostly a network of local clubs[1], so revenue to the national CCC is I assume almost entirely from the clubs shunting some of their income up
