The game (character writing/dialogues, "romances" etc.) seems to be aimed at people in their late teens and early twenties.
Adding (almost) explicit scenes for the many incel/weeb fans this game has (case in point: https://forums.larian.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=842193 ) seems like a pragmatic move, if not straight up blatant cashgrab - remember how much publicity Mass Effect got back then, FOR FREE?
I don't mind the scene(s) nearly as much as how "romance" options/dialogues/scripting are handled.
