Western Developers vs Conservative Western Media is somewhat different from Japanese Developers vs Conservative Western Media. Western Devs won't budge because they can "fight" on home turf while Japanese devs don't get that liberty. It goes back to the whole "what's acceptable in the East isn't always acceptable in the West" situation so they have to make some precautionary edits, which may or may not be executed properly. Not only that but don't forget the ESRB ratings and CERO ratings are significantly different, which could possibly hinder sales to a degree.

Thats a fair point but its entirely down to Nintendo. The point I'm making isn't that Nintendo is right or wrong for altering this but more that people shouldn't be pointing the finger at anything other then Nintendo.
Regarding the western devs, often they don't "fight". They literally do nothing to respond to a lot of the media criticism. Take Mortal Kombat and GTA for example. Recent fiasco's like Bravery Default + Dead or Alive Xtreme, did not need to be altered/cancelled and if people find issue they should take it up with the publishers, instead of blaiming Liberals for being "OFFENDED BY EVERYTHING" lol
