You're right that any such webhosting requirement, in and of itself, could likely be easily circumvented - there are lots of webhosts to choose from.
However, the other part of my comment regarding
credit card / payment processors potentially requiring adult sites to be in .XXX would be
very difficult to get around, since there are
relatively few payment processors for adult.
As to why payment processors would even consider such a requirement - from their perspective, requiring adult sites to operate in .XXX may
seem less risky to process for - and, more to the point, better PR; touting their efforts in preventing underage access and protecting the children.
