Well actually that goes back to tspikes comment earlier. They had a release date set. Once they knew that the mini game would push an AO rating, they really didn't have time to delete it out. He is right it isn't like you can go into a game's code highlight the offensive code and press delete, lots of other things wouldn't work.
If you check out the history of GTA III there was some code that people found about an online community game like Unreal Tournament or Everquest. The code was hidden when Rockstar decided not to go that route with the game (probably because online gaming was in its infancy then). They have a long history of developing things and then hiding the code that they don't want to include in the final version. Just because it was there doesn't mean that Rockstar expected someone to find it and get it to enable on everyones game.
We'll probably never know the true reason for the code being developed in the first place. Maybe the were thinking about two versions AO and M+, or the developers just thought it was funny and put it in there then hid it once they were pushing the final release.
I see your point, if you didn't want someone to find it, then take the time to delete it completely. They may not have thought it would get out to the masses.
