So the bottom line is you pretty much need visa.
Okay, there is the answer to your question, KK.

Not having visa would be a huge hinderance. could you get by? yeh, because as you point out people have other options (900, check, mastercard) - that's why billers offer those options and yes you could still make money but you'd have to accept that you're leaving quite a bit on the table. (not only that but some of those options have a significantly higher fraud and refund rate. the return rate on checks can range from 30-70%. And with 900 billing you have to wait up to 90 days to receive the funds.)

Even as a new / unknown program - I doubt it would be too hard to find a person/program/company in the US to set up the account and take a 10% cut. And if that translates into 40-50% higher income as a result... why wouldn't you?
