Here we go... ;-)
So long as there is a variety of armour styles to choose from, everyone wins.
I agree that there is no need to remove sexy armours, however there is a need to ensure sufficient modest armours. And yeah, people often conflate sexism when discussing the armour aesthetics issue, which does it a disservice because sexism in games is real and needs to be addressed - the confusion doesn't help.
Personally I tend to prefer a majority of more realistic gear & equipment to set the tone of the game, with some optional fantastical or sexy or whatever stuff. I'm just not a fan of huge spiky pauldrons and the like myself. I prefer my fantasy to be more grounded, however I do enjoy some fantastic and sexy armour sometimes. It depends on the game, my characters, weighing up armour stats (this armour looks better but this has better protection etc) and my mood.
