you already can buy twitch gift cards and they can be used for subs and bit purchases, the issue is getting that currency over to the explicit version of the site without getting the providers in a tizzy. The bottom line is they don't want to be associated with content like that, so if they learn that it can be bought and then used for it they'll threaten to pull the plug. They could try to use a different payment system with a vendor that has a higher broker fee but, there aren't many out there, there's a reason that VISA is seen everywhere.
