>why people act like it's a taboo subject
It's mostly women, especially mothers of boys and certain kinds of activists. Basically Hasbro wants to play both sides. They want nostalgia nerds to buy their favourite action show babes drawn and animated like supermodels, but then Hasbro tones down the sexy designs for their toys because boys finding fictional women as aesthetically pleasing might set off too many complaints and a loss of sales. It's hilarious too because when the original artists of these fictional women are interviewed they don't even bother hiding their inspirations are based entirely on showcasing the "ideal" female form in as many poses as possible.
