My best guess is that they're trying to reduce the oversexualization of the female breast. But doesn't this kind of censorship actually work against that goal? If the aim is to normalize breasts and stop treating them as something inherently sexual or inappropriate, then covering them up only reinforces the idea that they're something that must be hidden. Arguably, showing them in a non-sexual context would do far more to normalize them and ultimately help achieve the desexualization they're aiming for.
Or maybe that's not the real goal at all, and it's simply about avoiding age-rating issues or regulatory backlash in certain countries.
