I want you all to have fun and honestly just want to know the reason behind why in the consumers eyes an astonishingly big amount of women in videogames barely wear anything and have some dumb backstories to why they can't wear more. Would you feel the same if it was the case with men in videogames? Do you care more about some jiggly parts here and there than immersion and logic? I also very much enjoy womens bodies but would appreciate a bad ass armour on a bad ass character way more than a freaking swimming suit. No crititque, just honest interest.
To answer your question: i do not mind sexy men in a game with sexy women. Quite the opposite. It makes "sense". Then again it is, in my opinion, also ok to cater to only a certain group. Your point of immersion also holds true but it very much depends on the game. I do not need logic and immersion in all games. Also you have universes where things just work weirldy and you have to accept it. I have no issue accepting the rules of fantasy worlds.
Logic only needs to be internally consistent for immersion, anyway. It doesn't need to be consistent with our reality.
