These being the two primary reasons off the top of my head, but I am sure there are other reasons.

The official statement for Z's western cancellation was:
"PQube strives to release Japanese content for its fans as close to the source material as possible. In the case of Omega Labyrinth Z, while PQube has worked with all relevant age rating bodies in their respective territories, PQube must respectfully comply with the wishes of the platform holder and have therefore withdrawn any future plans for Omega Labyrinth Z’s European and North American release on PS4 and PS Vita."
This pretty much means Sony said "TOO LEWD FOR WEST". This is in line with recent Sony as they made the Senran Kagura developers remove intimacy mode from one of their latest games and censor other parts.
