You might be right, my thoughts were influenced too much by real-life experience where a lot of people find feet disgusting and seeing footplay is a turn-off; however it might not bother them much in a visual novel.It is?
My impression was more like nobody would drop a game over this kink, so it's relatively safe to add a few footsie scenes, because a Dev can get those few who like it without loosing any.
I mean add rape or scat (or any other really controversial kinks), and you are certain to alienate a considerable amount of people. Foot Play doesn't have this destructive potential imo. I've never seen something like "Eeeeew, feet are disgusting! Drop dead Dev for adding this content!"
I am quite neutral on this matter, so perhaps my perception is skewed, usually it's like "Eh, again? Whatever. Let's cum on those toes and get over with." Never would call a game bad for it, but would have instead preferred something else.
To recur to aforementioned poll, only 16.7% voted for Foot Play and i don't think alot of those other 83.3% would stop to play the game if incorporated, whereas 27.2% voted for watersports, and i suspect a relatively high number of those 72.8% who didn't would be annoyed if confronted with this kink. Perhaps it's worth noting, the poll allowed to vote for more than one fetish, so there was no drawback in choosing a specific one.
There are fetishes which aren't particularly liked by a lot of people, but usually tolerated, whereas others are an absolute no go for those who don't like them. Foot Play doesn't strike me as one of those.
