Regarding the new rule against abuse content, I suspect they're either trying to boost their wholesome image to advertisers, or it's in response to complaints about specific things on the site. I don't think they'd prohibit content unless someone is posting it, horrible as that sounds.
To put it in your terms: they're trying to drive away some creeps that might scare advertisers.
Regarding allowing AI porn... since advertisers don't like porn, these new policies should cancel each other out, lol. I suspect neither of these changes is directly related to any of the recent drama.
This makes sense.
Regarding porn: advertisers hate it but it's a low-hanging fruit to attract users. r/GoneWild is now reposting on Mastodon and r/hentai joined the protests; odds are that the platform knows that they won't hang around for too long.
