Gachashit depends on sexy girls to lure in suckers, so they have a very strong financial incentive not to cave to any social pressure campaigns. Both the devs and the suits are well aware that their entire business model would be threatened if they were to give too much ground on the issue.
Actual fun games have merits besides fanservice, which is usually more of an afterthought to begin with, so the devs and especially suits of those games can be easier bludgeoned into compromising. Where the suits of gacha companies are focused on targeting a particular type of audience, the suits heading actual game conpanies tend to believe that it's best for their product if it doesn't offend normalfag sensibilities. In their deluded minds, every soccer mom complaining about pixel boobs = one lost sale.
These initial differences are then exacerbated by vicious cycles: because gachashit is more willing to stand firm in pandering to straight male tastes, straight men are increasingly drawn into the gachashit ecosystem, taking their resources (money/time/attention) with them. This in turn makes it even harder for actual game devs to justify the inclusion of fanservice to their corporate overlords as the former audience for it increasingly abandons their sinking ships. All of a sudden gachashit becomes the place to go for people who want spicy content, since the predatory scoundrels are simply the only people left in town who will defend the tiddy lover's right to tiddies. Everywhere else having been sanitized by Brenda the fat, childless, corporate DEI officer.
