I doubt this will remain niche.

Clothing was niche at one point.

So was plastic surgery.

Image filters are now ubiquitous.

Also, I lived through the Second Life and Warcraft eras. Many people hunger for a form that wasn't just given to them by random chance by the universe.

The internet did eventually become homogenous, but it wasn't always this way, and tens of thousands of people spent a majority of their social life in these kinds of spaces.

I think in the future, there will be costume parties and entire communities where it'll be considered vulgar to insist on looking at someone's unfiltered body, in the same way it would be strange to see them without clothing.
