Bitcoin is still so niche that you can't expect donations in btc unless you are targeting btc users.
I find it odd that giving people a choice hinders donations though. Are gifts to charity really that impulse based?

Bullshit.
I'm sure that's bad propaganda by credit card companies and Paypal. I never donate something if they don't accept Bitcoin. Bitcoin community do the same as well.

Wikipedia had the same results, it seems when it comes to donations, the more different methods to send money you have the less money you receive.
I can well believe it. When it comes to prising money out of people human psychology is a strange little thing that's easily spooked or upended. I think we underestimate how mindless people can be for much of the day.

nah thats a lie.
Most likely, the financial company, who facilitate most of the donation (cough paypal cough), tell them to take it down.
Paypal already integrated bitcoin: https://www.braintreepayments.com/

Given the high volume of page views to that form during this period, the campaign moderator was concerned that adding any unnecessary text would distract donors and depress non-bitcoin conversions
Distraction? I really doubt if a bitcoin symbol occupies that much space.
Maybe they just need better designers.
