On the other hand, there are literally billions of people in African, Asian, and Middle Eastern cultures for whom photos of bare boobs are also taboo, so this seems like a case of just having to deal with being a minority in a public square.

Are you asserting that those billions of people who also aren't getting their way (as all decisions are made by Americans, whom are not at all numerous either offline or online) are a minority?

No, just that you can't please everyone, I think.

I'm asserting that multinational corporations typically aim for the lowest common denominator. For boobs, that's to avoid showing them.

In many African countries boobs are even less taboo than in Europe though. In some countries women were pretty much always topless before westerners arrived (in South America, Africa, and countries like Bali). The aversion to nudity seems to be the strongest in Muslim countries.
