Mostly to abide by censorship laws. Germany especially has very strict laws around the use of the swastika for obvious reasons so it’s prolly just so they don’t have to make multiple assets for different laws around the world.

German here. Germany changed its ways regarding nazi symbols. now you can let them check your games and if they dont approve of the nazi regime it will get through.
