I find it disheartening how many VNs apparently have interesting settings, plots, etc. ... and are eroge. It means you cannot experience the VN without being exposed to whatever sex fetish the author likes, and you cannot really recommend the game to anyone (or even admit to playing it), either.

One of the best aspects of VNs is that they're innately an anti-normie genre. If the smattering of sex scenes keep the normoids out, then it's well worth it.

I do get not liking the porn and some of the insane shit in older games can be wild. I have to be in a very specific mood to sit down with eroge. But it's also what keeps the tourists from descending on this genre and ruining it like they've ruined every other niche nerd media thing.

Not really much I can add to actually address your concerns. There are a lot more all-ages VNs these days (and even all-ages remastermakes of a lot of classics) because the dream of every Japanese dev from 1983 until like 2020 was to get a console release and that means no sex.
