It's the result of years of companies enacting censorship with none of it being rolled back. Started with Microsoft rejecting Galgun, then Sony rejecting Valkyrie Drive, then Sony admitting they had a censorship policy going beyond the ratings board, then Steam implemented a nebulous content policy with no appeals designed to encourage self-censorship, then Furukawa stepped down as Nintendo's CEO and they started censoring as well.
Meanwhile VISA started playing morality police for the sake of muh brand when really they just want to arbitrate what content is acceptable for people to consume regardless of whether it's legal or not, and now there's a situation where these busybody companies are working in tandem with each other to point fingers in a circle and shift the blame round and around so no one is held accountable in what's absolutely a deliberate tactic for the one thing the left and right can agree on which is wanting to censor the fuck out of everything.
Years of all of this piling up over time has resulted in the current shitshow, but that's also not even touching on how foreign investment into Japanese media has resulted in them self-censoring to try and appeal to western standards, as we've seen with Koei-Tecmo destroying their own brands out of fear of the nebulous social justice movement, or more recently the character designer for the Re;Zero anime adaptation outright admitted that they censored character designs in it because they were making it with global streaming services in mind.
Additionally Steam is a problem because it's the dominating PC marketplace which encourages self-censorship by devs to get on it, yet Japanese devs also spent years using it as their only platform for PC ports even while having trouble with it, because they're absolutely fucking retarded short-sighted idiots who can't understand that they're feeding into the same situation that is now biting them in the ass.
