Because the platform is a gaming and gamer-social platform.
Nothing wrong with nudity, just find the appropriate platform for it, not a gaming one.
If Twitch is a gaming platform, why is there a "Pools, workout and beaches" category? 99% of streams there are hot babes in bikinis, with some linking to their OF accounts in their profile. And then there's the fashion show with models in skin tape that most of the time only covers the crotch and nips.
Now, I'm not against streamers showing skin; Twitch can definitely open an "After Dark" section only available to adults and still forbid explicit or simulated sex. But the way all this fiasco took place screams bad management to me.
