I thought the author took the analysis to a whole other level than that
I think everybody is overthinking it, honestly. This is probably a UX problem. At some point some of these taboo reasons led to a relatively minor trend of roleplaying that situation, that made "step" a SEO bonus, and since you can claim any porn fits the genre, even retroactively, it also became the default way to label a porn video in algorithmically served free porn sites. And now it's probably just convention, or tradition or whatever.
Yea. Bringing up meritocracy and incels to it, was way overthinking everything.
It's one of the few narrative devices left in porn nowadays. It doesn't take as long to setup, like all of the old porn narratives. The cable/TV/plumber has been crowed about for so long it breaks the mood.
Plus you can fit a quick taboo in small 8-10 minutes that works for online porn. It's less about some big zeitgeist moment that shows some secret about our society, and more about how it is a lot easier to produce.
It's both corporatism and enshitification all in one.
