Why? People make a lot of weird assumptions about that.
Nobody makes the same assumptions over shaved armpits, or legs. Yet logically the same argument applies.

I think it's mostly because armpits and legs aren't primarily sexual organs.

But they're all shaved for identical reasons
because some people find hair unsightly and smooth skin feels nicer.

I think the key word in your original argument is "logically"
Whilst on the face of it the same principle should apply, the shaving of armpits and legs is commonplace, especially if these areas are to be displayed. There is a much wider range of options in play for the bikini line.

I don't understand the "hollywood = paedo magnet" comment
because the thing about paedos, the defining, indisputable feature of them, is that they fuck children. Not adults with shaved mittens.

I completely see your point
as referenced by my pointing out that Swipey is not going to be mistaken for a child, unless she's a child smuggling two other children in her blouse. I was just illustrating the difference in attitudes towards the shaving of the respective areas
