I don't think they would add giant balloon butts that would actually noticeably distort textures. We're probably all using the same textures anyway, and roe butts are already stretching the texture more than my butt could.

Also I don't think bust sliders effect armor, so I doubt butt sliders would either.

There is more behind it that if I could say so.

If the Texture Resolution is already low to begin with, espescially since this is an MMORPG, talking about 256x256 if not 512x512 Resolutions, stretching does Indeed result into visible stretched Textures that you can see.
Of course there is more techniques behind Texture Mapping and Rendering in the end, as Players we can only assume how this may work but in the end the Game makes extremely easy use of some techniques that put only low performance requirements on ones Computer.

Bust Slider does adjust several Glamours such as Bikinis or other Glamours, you can see this extremely on Female Roegadyns.
If you meant Gear such as Heavy Armour for Tanks, no it doesn't and I'm glad it's not that way, that truly would look horrible if Metal would deform due of Breast changes.
