I think you're probably right. This is usually a bad decision. However, right now the biggest installed base for their format is playstations. They don't want to create the perception that people are making porn for a video game system marketed at children. This perception doesn't have to be reasonable for it to blow up in their face. Hillary Clinton and Joe Leiberman were on the war path recently because you could get a memory editor and interface it with your playstation and access a section of Grand Theft Auto in which fully clothed block animations have sex. The fact that there are easier ways for kids to get access to pornography doesn't seem to have mattered to the morass of protestors, and I'm sure that Rock Star and Sony spent a fair amount of money dealing with the incident.
