That's an epiphenomenon of the viewers feeling ashamed about their sexuality. And modern societies that strive to get over sexual oppression, it will definitely get exploited by advertisers. But usually the objective of the creator is not sexual exploitation, otherwise they wouldn't draw a pantyshot, but a hentai without even the token plot.

It depends on the audience. Female-oriented anime are a lot more "aggressive" and one reason for it is that they don't have to defend themselves about sexually exploiting guys. Personally, I wouldn't care if it was a guy's or a girl's underwear, as long as it was well drawn, but in most cases concerning this anime relevant to the characters' personality and consistent with their character designs.
What would be very annoying is to censor it and even worse to be inconsistent in order to appear "decent".

Indeed, for two maybe three cuts, I don't get for what purpose the camera perspective is chosen to be so revealing. But also more then two dozen scenes seem unnecessary too, even without exposing female undergarments. So unless one wants to find an excuse to complain, I don't see why focus on ecchi fanservice over unnecessary animation, scenery porn and the rest of fanservice that is hypocritically OK, since it does not touch controversial subjects, despite effectively being the subject to the same criticism.
