Why would someone go to the trouble? If you want to buy $1000 in Bitcoin there are plenty of places willing to sell that to you without buying one-time-use debit cards and VPS accounts for proxies and everything else involved in evading detection at a business that doesn't want to sell it to you.
Coinbase requires a verified bank account, not a credit card. Edit to add: No one will sell you BTC on a credit card because credit card transactions are reversible and bitcoin transactions are not.

Coinbase will, I believe.

Yes, but you can also optionally add a credit card. Though, looking closer, they say:
Credit cards are a backup payment method only and cannot be used to buy bitcoin directly
An additional fee of 3.1% + $0.18 will be applied to any charges made to your cards.
An additional "cash advance"/ATM fee may be applied by your bank, depending on your agreement with them.
