When any entity chooses to block 'porn' they must start by answering the question of how something can be defined as porn. That can take a long time, become very convoluted, evolve over time and lead to a stagnant attempt at censorship. However, when someone raises their hand and says 'I own this and I confirm it is porn' that takes the burden off the people pursuing prohibition and expedites their attempt to censor content. As entities seek to censor content they will look for the easiest targets first. No target could be easier than a .xxx that inherently admits to the criteria for persecution of itself. Metaphorically, it's the difference between a heist with a getaway car that looks like every other car on the road, versus trying to use a getaway van that has 'fuck the police' written on the sides with a blaring bass-thumping stereo and Christmas lights blanketed over the hood.
