It definitely does. A better approach would be, gradient fade down towards torso. This feels wrong as a sudden cut below waist line.

Because legs aren't tracked, they would be out of sync if you move, and it is easier just to leave them out.

I'm going to guess they don't want genitalia or behinds making this a more adult experience.
