AAA studios don't like mods much anyways. Mods are just creative DLC that the studio didn't make and can't force players to keep buying to keep profits up, along with shutting down private game servers - again forcing players to use or rent official servers for $. Mods keep older games alive that studios may not want to host files for anymore.

There's no shortage of reasons to limit mods...outrage over boobs is a drop in the bucket.

Sure, but this is their excuse to clamp down and limit all mods for the reasons you listed under the banner of morals and such.
