Is there a story behind the music? Seems excessive to have to remove all of it for Steam.
Perhaps the licensing of some songs is not permitted for a commercial product, and a new license would be needed, which would require some payment from the developer.
My understanding is this is essentially correct, and wanting to focus on their new game rather than spend the time and effort to find and replace 200+ songs.
When this game (and many others of the time) was started, some of the large libraries that licensed music didn't have language restricting it from being used for adult material, but it also didn't have anything preventing older contracts from being overwritten by changes to the fine print (or, it did have the restrictions, but they were buried so deep that no-one realized it was there). Couple years ago it all came out when games with their music launching on Steam got delisted due to music copywrite infringement, and devs had to scramble to deal with the problem.
