So... they can identify when someone in a conversation is a minor. And they can identify when nudes are being sent. But when these two are combined, they figure just blurring the image is the appropriate solution?

Perhaps to avoid false positives? I think it's telling the minor, "hey, this might be a dick. Open only if you trust the person".
