Companies & Governments in the US & West censor for political reasons. Why is this any different?

There's an episode of South Park that featured the Prophet Mohamed (Super Best Friends) that was uncontroversial when it aired, but now you can't get it anywhere. They did a very good bit about it in "Cartoon Wars". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon_Wars_Part_I (They deserve like a Pulitzer Prize or something for CW, it's genius.)

It's not illegal to depict the Prophet, it's religious courtesy. (Also, it might interfere with profit (no pun intended.))
