Up until recently, we (on the PS4) had full nudity, and had done for years (I can of course only speak from the UK perspective) - I got the sense that the only reason why it has been removed was due to an actual bug.
As for the crafting thralls, partial nudity was removed deliberately, but not (as I understand it) due to ‘prudish’ reasons , but simply because part of the community asked for it.
The reasoning being that when ‘collecting’ a thrall in the first place it was sometimes difficult to see from a glance which ones were actually crafters , and who were just fighters , and so it was updated so all crafters now wear aprons basically.
I never had this problem personally, I just used self control , rather than kill everything on sight, but here we are.
(please, feel free to correct me if I am wrong on this!)
