I think the point is to not exploit the idea of her femininity unduly, which is part of the problem with Other M, intending to play up how feminine she is. The "rewards" of seeing her without her suit i have less of an issue with, one because her style in them is never entirely inappropriate (e.g. she always wears under her suit what she should wear for the kind of work she does. Skintight or not, the only problem of the Zero Suit is the heels, but biosuits are a staple of science fiction, and her other undersuits are nothing worse than you would see from the many female athletes currently competing in London. Having it as a "reward" isn't particularly sexist, because there is little enough that can be done with her exposed form. JUSTIN BAILEY was worse in that regard, and that was an easter egg rather than a reward.
The key is that her femininity should not be made into more than a novelty, into a defining trait of the character
