I truly don't understand how Visa/MasterCard/etc can be pressured. They are basically infrastructure.

What's someone going to do, stop using credit cards if they don't stop a store that person doesn't even patronize from selling morally hazardous goods?

I don't get how these campaigns are even effective.

Supposedly there was a ruling in California that made them responsible.

Do you have any info or links about that?

Unfortunately not. It was mentioned in a lemmy comment.
