Many of the problems mentioned have to do with two things. 1: porn isn't art. 2: porn is a caricature of what you find sexy.
There is erotic art; where it turns pornographic it becomes exaggerated and grotesque, because the point is to emphasize the thing you find sexy (supernormal stimulus). Like junk food which is called junk because it tosses away all the finer points of cooking in favor of fat, sugar and salt, or some flavoring that tastes stronger than the real thing. It's like putting ketchup on all your food to the point that you're eating the food just to taste the ketchup. If you don't particularly like ketchup, it's going to be awful for you.
That's what happens to art with porn. People are doing it to have the "condiments" they like, and other people are going to hate it. However, junk food sells, and so does porn, to the point that very few even attempt to do anything else.
