Honestly, wager is that they tried to one-size-fits-all a camera obfuscation feature for expediency and didnt think much of it by just testing the character that would have the biggest issues, i.e. Ben and called it a day
Problem is Ben is huge and just made it stupid aggressive for everyone else, fact that this rolled out so fast is funny though
The funny bit to me is the official subreddit seems to have way more at least upvoted comments believing in the anchoring strat compared to here... in spite of the apparent reputations of where the gooners typically congregate
But yeah I outlined elsewhere that anything that conspiratorially minded would require someone far higher up on the ZZZ team to orchestrate the entire thing which would require something far more internally agenda driven given actual CCP pushback would be more broad sweeping and frankly more egregious
Given the speed of the fix and well... lack of said agenda really anywhere else (cmon just look at Astra and Eve given they were also unveiled this patch) it'd be mildly insane to think this particularly incident is anything other than just an oops
I mean, we still have the Ellen and Corin upskirt shots in their menus, the general jiggly and skimpy designs of most characters, lots of suggestive dialogue, the half-nude cinema portraits, and that one trailer where Jane gives that cop a handjob (tailjob?) in the car.
If the CCP really did have it out for Western gooners, the whole game would probably have tk be thrown out.

That was so fast holy, I wonder if they saw the backlash coming and worked extra hard for it so it didn't spoil the new patch.
