Yeah, that's kind of the point with these games...

Cause animations are not worthy, 99% of the time.
Consume a lot of computing resources for things that can totally be done by a couple of good renders, significantly delaying production.
This is particularly true for sex scenes.
I would say only real exceptions are very photorealistic/movie scenes that you want players to capture the movement you had in your head. Say, an amazing one of a kind fight or dance.

Dev isn't an animator and shitty animations ruin games.

Yeah I was even looking at older content in the gallery and all animations are gone it looks like.
I figured it out on my own but thanks for the help still, I hope if anyone has the same issue for stats greyed out they'll see this comment

I do not agree with this at all.
A game with mediocre animations will always be more valued and will have more impact than a game with just good renderings.
It's a shame, but that's how it is. As much as it will lower my computer's performance and take up more space, I prefer an animation similar to what we saw with the two vampire women than the 3 static pictures we had with Maxine.
And I'm sure many agree with this statement.

First, this is is a benefit/cost analysis.
You only mentioned "benefits" but you didn't include any cost, from the development point of view. That was at the core of my argument. Animations require way more computing power, because at the end of the day they are just several very similar pictures. This implies longer development times.
Second, you said "A game with mediocre animations will always be more valued and will have more impact than a game with just good renderings."
This is a logical statement. True statements need to be proven. False statements need only a counter example. You have that just 6 post above yours and right under mine, in the same page. Let me quote the Great (I wouldn't mess with her even if left alone in the woods to pick between fighting her and a Bear current twitter argument) Avaron1974
Third, well placed and artistic static images, when written well can do better than animations. In fact, writing is pretty much everything. For example, Midlife Crisis (R.I.P) has no animations. But sex scenes writing is so good that almost no other game can beat its sex scenes.

Absolutely, If a game has bad or meh sex animations I'll usually just Ctrl-speed through them, but one with good static images and good writing can make all the difference.

As another example of how important writing is, Sorcerer game has almost animated static images (will be clear those who have seen the game) but they have no text.
They are 0 hot. They do absolutely nothing. I skipped all of them. In fact, game was so bad in that sense, that I started hating the sex scenes, just wanted more lore.
