I'm sorry but I am assuming you are wrong, re processesors, because Renderosity was accepting nudity since day one and THEY have now apparently started the witch hunt on nudity. It would be hard to believe that Visa has now suddenlty turned on Rosity. I don't know of course.
And it's still a solution where no problem exists!! Do you really think customers have suddenly started complaining about nudity when it used to be hard to find a figure without? You just expected to see the skin texture you were buying. Now Renderosity is jumping on the "we don't want to be seen as promoting the shameful nude body" band wagon. It's very tragic.
I'm sorry that there are countries where kissing is prohibited, does that mean we should ban kissing in wetern countries as well? It's ludicrous to think we can cater for every custom and religion. The point is: what is what is moral and right?
Now if you can tell me about the evils and harms of nudity, then I will be all ears!! Please explain to me how nudity harms society!!
Don't you think it would be nice if actions were based on solid reasoning and not superstition, ancient customs and conformity?
Here's a link to Paypal's Acceptable Use Policy for you:

You will notice it uses the terms "obscene" and "sexually explicit". It's very easy for companies to consider nudity obscene.
Just typing the words "visa's war on porn" or "visa against adult content" in google will bring up plenty of articles dating back over the last 10 years about it.
And if you'd been around rosity long enough then you might remember the shitstorms that have swirled up repeatedly in the past concerning nudity in both the galleries and the MP, and they always resort back to payment processors and their policies.
I don't know what 'rosity's owners' specific policies or personal values are on the subject. You'd have to ask them.
Yes they allow nudity, within strict guidelines.
It's always been a sketchy issue around here.
Perhaps some vendors choose to play on the safe side and not risk getting their product pulled for showing too much, or maybe they want to maximize their audience by not having any of their products blocked from various users in different regions due to content advisories. The reasons are likely as numerous as the number of vendors here, cause everyone has their own ideas and reasons for doing what they do.
How about taking it a bit more mature route, and asking the vendor in private to see a fully nude rendor of their product if its something you want to use? I doubt many would refuse.
