I doubt that could be the main reason, though it might be one of the factors as well. I do know that some game developers make M-rated games without getting into trouble with the law (or even that idiot lawyer, Jack Thompson). But then again, something worth to note nonetheless.

Off-topic: As for Jack Thompson, I hope he really runs out of money so that he won't be able to throw up frivolous lawsuits and eventually, will cease to be a menace to the gaming industry.
