"if they had more budget and manpower", you basically answered your own question. Have you thought about the reason why the developers who actually focus on gameplay are mostly tight on budget and porn viewer makers can swim in cash? The reason is simple: the majority of paying customers don't give a shit about how good the gameplay is in a porn game, it's the quality of porn that make them pay. It all boils down to the principle of economics: the financial return of making gameplay is negative, no matter how important you claim it to be.There are one man made or small studio made porn games and some of them have solid gameplay. I can only imagine what developers of those games would've made if they had more budget and manpower. Solas City Heroes, Eris Dysnomia, Holy Knight Ricca, Karryn's Prison, Lona RPG, Station Master, Monster Girl Dreams, Goblin Burrow, Last Evil... I've played all of them, not only they are porn but they are also games and good ones at that so if you are going for "it is impossible to create a good porn game" argument don't bother.
Not to mention that gameplay wise those examples you gave are all shitty compared with sfw games of similar theme, genre, budget and price (Lona RPG - elona, Last Evil - Slay the Spire, etc), it's only rational that most people would just download saves to unlock all the porn and forget about the rest. Basically all porn games have a gallery for a reason: we all know that time is money, it's better spent elsewhere than "playing" for porn. (however if your time isn't worth that much that's another story.)
