Well. SHE isn't doing anything. The writers DECIDED to have her do this.

So whether it's a really interesting exploration of agency and femininity and queerness and visibility or just an excuse for fanservice with woke buzzwords depends a lot on context and execution.

Yeaaaaah coming from the MGS fandom I am very nonplussed by "it's fine because her backstory totally justifies it!!!" because, buddy, characters aren't real they don't have histories that developed organically; they have writers who designed them they way they wanted to design them (in Yoko Taro's case re: the Nier games, he's on the record as stating he does skimpy outfits because he likes skimpy outfits, no other reason) then did or did not invent an excuse as to why they're designed that way.

I haven't played Nier; it's possible this is done well. It's also possible this is done poorly, like Quiet, as a paper-thin excuse for fanservice. The "but the backstory!!!" means nothing.

Imagine how limited fandom discussions would become if we responded to everything every character did with the reminder that they didn't really do anything, the writer just chose to make them do it.
