Actually -- you're both wrong.
One needs to look no further than those pop-up videos during the beginning of the pandemic that were trotted out as "new updates". The answer lies there. In case anyone isn't familiar with these, these were old updates with pop-up tidbits of information inserted into the scenes (reminiscent of Vh1's Pop-up videos during the mid 90's).
During late 2020, the purge happened. And some or all of the original videos of these scenes were removed, while the pop-up videos remained. So the theory that the recordkeeping isn't there doesn't really make sense. In each case, IT'S THE SAME SCENE! So if they don't have proof of the models age for the original scene, they don't have it for the pop-up video and almost certainly would have removed both, not kept one and deleted the other.
My best guess is that MG kept the pop-up videos because it was "their work". The original scenes weren't and so they removed them. We're pretty much rapidly reaching the point where all traces of the original SC have been removed and the Men-ification of SC has completely taken over, if we're not there already.
