It was the seventies and culture was really earthy then.
Curiously this is one of the common concerns about clothes-optional public areas, that sometimes unfit people are visibly naked and some find that offensive (while happily gawking at fit naked folk).
I’m fine with naked people walking around. I just don’t want to watch people fucking and I really don’t think that’s such a ridiculous position to take.
I don’t want to see people pissing or shitting either.
I’d say it’s not, but a society in which public sex (or public defication, for that matter) was acceptable is not that far a reach. Classic Rome had potty facilities where people sat adjacent to each other and conversed while they pooped into a trench of running water to wash the refuse away, a noted precursor to modern plumbing.
The US is particularly conservative when it comes to dress codes, where girls are evicted from schools for wearing sleeveless shirts (in contrast to boys who are allowed to wear sports jerseys). In contrast to what was happening the seventies, US society is far more easy to offend, and dangerous when offended, so public spaces are more prone to covering their bases. Hence nudity in classic paintings has to be covered up on YouTube.
Nudity is not something I have an issue with. I have no problem if someone wants to walk down the street nude. I just don’t think absolutely everything should be acceptable to do in public.

Some things don’t need to be on public display.
