I believe it's not quite developer's choice.
Videogame publishers (and not only them) are having very special requirements in regard to that.
Which leads to exceptionally silly situations like "Some moderator thought that one of the hand-drawn doodles made by (known in our lands) artist on stream featured non-consensual content so whole channel got demolished. On PornHub."
