The new rules specifically ban real life depictions of sexual organs in a sexual context, and any graphic depiction of a sex act.
Other NSFW stuff is still allowed. Fetishes are still allowed. Erotica is still allowed. Nude fanart of the Onceler is still allowed.

They currently spend a fuckton of resources hosting pornographic content whilst trying to shield it from minors and search engines, and complying with the regional laws of hundreds of countries, and the rules of various online marketplaces.
They probably have a whole team of people whose entire job is to look through images of the most disgusting, depraved stuff to make sure it's not child porn.

Sounds like a very, very good reason to not do it at all, eh?
Granted a lot of that is due to architectural changes, a different tech stack, and also four years more knowledge of how to do this shit.
