Imagine if someone started to sell cannabidiol and the Rindo model was plastered all over the box or flask, you don't want that to happen with your IP. Much fucking less if you are Japanese due to the horrendous possible social consequences. Not even taking into account the possible legal ones.
Same with other more common stuff like fleshhlights or even some energy drink products, i-fucking-magine if they plaster your design over an alcoholic energy drink and advertise it with "drink till you can't", the Nijisanji fuck-up all over again. And you are involved by pure association, i guess it can be tiresome, could make me paranoid if I was an artist.
You just don't know what your work is going to be used for. And unfortunately, sometimes it's not just porn. Hopefully it would stay at that.
In this case, he probably ran out of patience after hearing or watching Filian keep producing merch after merch and not a single email was ever sent to him. The Nendoroid being the final nail in the coffin because if he didn't say a thing know, Filian was practice going to go turbo with the stuff she can sell going forward. It was now or never because it's clear Filian was never going to bother with him, he has to bother with her. And the TOS said it should have been the opposite.
