It usually just tends to be the removal of some part that I'd image there is already a texture beneath, e.g. SE's butt-wing fetish on raid gear (Dreadwyrm caster and Alexander melee), the little hallow axe-heads / spoiler things on the Noct fending gear, the extra skirt fluff component on Conqueror's, etc. When it's just asset removal, I'd hope the process wouldn't cost much. That said, I see how essentially admitting that "to some players, this particular bit not only a waste of development, but also a detriment to the rest of the item/set" could leave a foul taste in SE's mouth, likely to the point where we'd never see anything like this.
