These are done purely on editorial grounds. When we make a decision to hide or remove an image based on some people's moral objections that it is "pornographic", "disgusting", "sexually explicit", etc. we are not making a purely editorial decision.
For me, this has about as much to do with morality as my dislike of carrots.
Your objection, as I understood it, was that it was disgusting. Correct me if I'm wrong, but primarily you seemed to be disgusted.
Which has what to do with morality?
That you seemed to be giving it similar weight as a reason not to have such an image on that article.
