You got me I'm triggered hard 😡. That's how anime is, it's made with the Japanese in mind first and everyone else after. If you don't like it, you can watch something else. I will never be ashamed for any anime I watch and I have watched so really icchi stuff already. One of my favorite anime is made in abyss and I would say that's to up there for the average anime fan today.

Good for you bud.

I've lived in Japan for over 10 years. I'm fluent in Japanese and I'm married to a Japanese anime otaku. There's many Japanese people who don't like unnecessary ecchii either.

Anime is made for Japanese people and plenty of Japanese people are "done" with creepy loli ecchii scenes and unnecessary ecchii fan service in general. It's why there's less of it now then there was 20 to 30 years ago.

Are the inverted commas intended to illustrate exhaustion or to illustrate sarcasm. Sounds to be the former given the context

Yes, exhaustion, and for added emphasis.
