Why?  The issue is that, supposedly, Disney (or other licencors) don't want their properties on a platform with an ESRB rating higher that E10+.  Suggestive themes, alchohol and tobacco use, gambling and "crude humor" all require a T rating.  Of the platforms you mentioned, Steam is the only one that doesn't require an ESRB rating (and indeed FX3 doesn't have one on the Steam store).


Regardless of how well Williams may or may not be doing for them, take a look at a list of Zen's tables, and see how much of their output would vanish if Disney pulled the licence.  The issue is more with the ESRB itself, and I can completely understand how Zen feels trapped by the situation.  Disney may not be dictating what Zen needs to do to their Williams tables, but they are playing it safe because they don't want to find out after the fact something is a problem.


Edit:  I don't bother with Williams on mobile due to the inability to just purchase tables, but just looked it up and it is interesting that they have a separate app there for Williams that at least on ios is rated 17+.  I assume the reason they haven't spun off a separate app on consoles is costs or other issues that come with multiple submissions.  If this does get solved for consoles, I think that's the only way it's going to happen.
