It's more having to do with the content being a bit too raunchy so additional censorship will be required to avoid another
Interspecies Reviewers incident according to /a/.

Thank you for your continued support for the TV anime World's End Harem.
Since it is necessary to scrutinize the expression of World's End Harem which will start broadcasting from October 8, 2021, the broadcasting of the second and subsequent episodes scheduled to be broadcast from October 15 will be postponed to January 2022. We sincerely apologize to everyone who has been looking forward to the work.
In addition, about October 8th, we will send the first episode as "advance special broadcast". Regarding distribution, we will postpone the distribution start date to January 2022, including the first episode (The main animation, which was scheduled to start on October 8, will not be distributed).
Thank you for your understanding. We will inform you about the new start date on our website and Twitter as soon as the details are decided.
We will continue to make it so that we can deliver the charm unique to this work to the maximum, so please continue to support us.
World's End Harem Production Committee

Another answer from what I gathered on one /a/ thread is those responses:

The timing is more on Chinese government crackdown than Japanese soccer moms. All the ecchi shows mentioned in this thread was before the communist crackdown and takeover of Chinese IT and entertainment industries. Japanese now has to send episodes months in advance for Chinese authorities to review after all.

Nah, if it is a censorship thing at all, I'm calling it somehow being Sony's fault. Now that they have both Crunchyroll and Funimation, they own the vast majority of worldwide distribution, and if it was anywhere near Interspecies Reviewers level, they could have threatened to back out of their licensing deal unless it was changed. We already know they kicked Interspecies Reviewers off AnimeLab when it rebranded and that they kicked HIDIVE off VRV for content reasons, and that's probably just the start.
