I don't think investors would like SE just annihilating a good chunk of their profits for little to no reason.

SE has something at hand that literally any other MMO and marketing person would just have wet dreams about. Which is free advertising and activity. Given this might be not "good" activity by many peoples standards but tens of thousands of players logging in daily to do well..."stuff(ing)" ingame creates an "active" MMO which is something that an MMO wants above everything else. And this activity extends beyond content droughts and content in general which is just a insane vein of gold SE hit with this. The other point is free advertisement which comes from thousands and thousands of players gposing and flooding all social media platforms daily with their poses and other things.

Everyone who thinks SE would give up this literal gold mine is at best just delusional. SE has found something no other MMO ever managed to find and i am certain they would never give this up ever.

That said, in my opinion people can do whatever they want as long as they actually check how old the player behind the other piece of pixels and polygons is. That is literally the only thing i would say speaks against nightclubs which is their blatant ignorance of minors getting access to their 18+ venues. Some even clearly accepting that fact and letting underaged players work there.
