Bikinis are hot.
The people who complain about it being unrealistic mysteriously don't complain about the mountain of other unrealistic things that you see in fantasy games, many of them much more dangerous for the user than bikini armor (oversized weapons and armor, for example), almost as if that's not actually what their real complaint is.
Their real complaint, which they're obscuring in bad faith, is that the female characters are being designed to be appealing to men.
AKA the main customer for traditional PC-style videogames.

I think that the ones who actually need to justify themselves, especially as the western entertainment industry crumbles as they lose men, are the screeching harpies who insist that videogames not be targeted at their largest natural audience.
