Is this the first major porn site to be hacked?

Twitch is not porn. It's maybe a gateway to onlyfans, but you cannot have sexual content on twitch.

Even YouTube allows more nudity then twitch.

So yes, there are girls wearing bikinis and underwear on camera, but that's as far as it goes.

That depends on your definition of sexual. If you have someone in underwear with the sole purpose of arousing people of the opposite sex, that is pretty sexual to me.
Porn and sexual are not the same. There is a line, and so far Twitch stays on the safe side of it.
The claim the commenter you replied to was referring to was:

> you cannot have sexual content on twitch

Which is obviously completely, completely false.

They are not the same. Defined age-restricted pornography is arguably better than highly sexualised content aimed at children and their pocket money.
The microphone ear licking channels are definitely more sexual than many "NSFW" subreddits.

What actually defines porn? It's hard to say, but you know it when you see it. Spend 5 minutes watching any of the ear lickers on the front page of twitch and make your mind up for yourself. I find it hard to come to the conclusion that it's not porn.

It's sarcasm my dude. Twitch is notorious for giving female streamers a pass when it comes to nudity or inappropriate behavior, all the while banning male members for accidentally clicking on a NSFW link and it being shown on steam for seconds.
A channel I mod got a 1-day suspension because you could see the crack of a drunk guy mooning them (despite instantly stopping the stream and deleting the VOD before starting again). A few weeks before, two girls flashed them. That obviously did not warrant a ban.
It's called "softcore porn".

> Even YouTube allows more nudity then twitch.

Nudity alone is not pornographic.

>there are girls wearing bikinis and underwear on camera

Is it really hot in their rooms or are they sex workers?

I saw them doing microphone licking lately. Apparently that's popular.
