I wonder if it's just what cashier you get. One time I was using my Walmart card and I had a bunch of stuff including a gift card and the cashier threw a fit saying that I couldn't pay with my Walmart card and there's a lot of fraud, etc, it was kind of embarrassing. So I ended up just getting cash back from the Walmart card and putting that in the bday card. It didn't make sense to me that they would expect people to pay cash for the gift cards but she also made it sound like they wouldn't take any credit card to pay for the gift card.
She might have been wrong but I was embarrassed and just scurried out of there

You could have just got the cash-over and used that to buy the GC (assuming the GC costs less than your cash-over daily limit).   So, in essence, her reaction makes no sense.

So did I (at CVS with my BC).   Amex decided it wasn't quite as necessary as I thought it was
