Fate was an eroge because that's how you sell most VN in Japan. Nasu is terrible at writing porn, and that's totally not his focus. Making Arthur a woman was also a bold move for shock values, and it ended up interesting because Arthur, being a fictional figure, can be whatever one desires as long as they explained stuff (here, Artoria is the real Arthur, while Prototype Male-Arthur is the "archetype", how legends picture Arthur).

The problem here isn't the original product but what the fandom made of it : The novelty of Female-Arthur was turned into a joke over time, turning some (or most) heroes into girls because fanservice... F/GO is the epitomy of that.

Now, about nudity... That was almost unavoidable because of, again, the (speculated) fanbase. There's indeed no "going to far" here, but not strictly because of the VN and more because of the targetted demography.
