I’d think in such a world see-through bottoms would be the rule rather than the exception so you don’t hide your cutie mark.

And as I pointed out, we have see other clothing and lack there of that that effect happening with see-through clothes doesn’t make sense.  
I do think that taking off or putting on clothes might be see that way, but when it’s on it’s not, when it’s off it’s not, no matter what kind and that included see-through clothes.
 
 
Unless it;s bondage gear.

It’s like I said earlier–it’s not the clothing (or lack thereof) itself that’s risque. What’s risque is a pony taking clothes off or putting clothes on. It goes back to the old funny animal trope, Fur is Clothing. A pony with no clothes is not nude because we have the illusion that its coat is a set of clothing. The moment the pony starts putting clothing on, though, that illusion is broken, and we suddenly think the pony is naked.
 
I’m suggesting that see-through clothes on a pony have the same effect: if not breaking the “fur is clothes” illusion, then bending it enough to make us do a double-take and start to wonder.

But to say that partially concealing their body can be seen as risque when partial clothing is the norm when they have it on, and more have none, is to miss how little sense it makes.  
Thus the jokes about more clothing and covering more being risque, and with it see-through clothing makes even less sense as you still see most of them that way.
 
Also, Maud, her dress covers her back half, and the CMC have had outfits that do it as well(the talent show, jumpsuits, people reacting to the performance and not what they had on), no one reacts to it like it’s risque, so it;s clearly not, no matter how it’s done.

A lot of cartoon characters get away with wearing only partial clothing. Donald Duck, for example, doesn’t wear pants, but he goes into a dressing room and puts on a pair of swim trunks to go bathing, go figure.
 
A pony wearing just a top is not taboo, as their front half is covered and their back half doesn’t need covering. However, if a pony were to put on a pair of pants, they would have to do that in private because they’re raising the question of whether their back half needs to be covered. I’m just suggesting that a see-through skirt does the same thing: it makes the viewer wonder if that pony’s back half needs to be covered or not.

It does sometimes feel like they try to make My Little Pony sexualization canon

I’ve had that same thought before but there is one problem with how you just put it.  
“An outfit that partially conceals a pony’s body”, you realize we see a lot of them with just a “top”, so that partially conceals their body and isn’t risque, so so somthing see-through doesn’t make sense.

Well, it goes with my headcanon about what ponies consider “nudity”. It’s not wearing or not wearing clothes that is taboo, it’s the act of dressing or undressing. Case in point: Rarity’s boutique has dressing rooms and privacy screens, even though her customers regularly walk in and out of the shop with nothing on. In short, dressed ponies are fine, undressed ponies are fine, but partially dressed ponies are taboo.
 
An outfit that partially conceals a pony’s body would actually be more “risque” than one that fully conceals it, because it is both concealing and revealing, putting it the halfway position like the taboo state of partial dress.

They don’t want to hide their cutiemarks! That’s the only way I can make sense of it lol
 
This makes the most sense.
 
Clothes seem to be nothing more than for fashion or utility. Diaphanous fabric would let them continue to show off their mark (something they’re probably proud of) while still being fashionable.
