Bethesda games have a unique (and frankly toxic) relationship with the modding community. When people say PC games have mods, what they really mean is Bethesda games have mods. You can add up all the mods for every other game and it won’t come close to what’s available for even one bethesda game. And bethesda know this, which is why they can release comically buggy and broken games and then rely on the modding community’s free labor to finish and polish everything. Bethesda even went one further and tried to monetize those same mods, which is beyond insane in terms of perverse incentives. Imagine being directly financially rewarded for not fixing or finishing your own game lol

Anyways, in this case, Bethesda is in the unique position of both having and eating their cake. They can put out a completely “inoffensive” product that mostly appeases the woke scolds on the left while knowing full well that the degenerate coomers will reliably inject more perversion and fan service than you can possibly imagine.
