In my opinion the general issue is that of agency. I generally dislike it when a character I play in a game does things I don't want to do. It's not always a dealbreaker, I avoid certain genres altogether, but I think games, no matter what genre, would greatly benefit from giving players more agency and more choices, unless a certain game has it as its central theme (then you just don't download it if you don't like it, like NTR etc).
And again, saying "just don't download anything with certain tags"... would mean that otherwise completely wholesome games like "Life of Mary" or so would need to be avoided. And there aren't that many games that have good solo routes - that I know of, I don't have the time to browse thousands of games, I just look at what's popular and/or has high user ratings.
I am actually a bit surprised that quite a few people are apparently opposed to giving players more agency and choice. I can understand the dev's perspective, but as I said before, providing flags via dialogue or menu that will entirely skip certain scenes (even if that means no sex scene at all in certain chapters) is super easy to implement. And everyone would have a choice to say "I am ok with fewer sex scenes" or "gimme all there is".
And about AAA titles.... there is a reason Nexus Mods exists. Quite a few people love customization and modding.
But I guess speed pressing spacebar it is then
