The other, and more basic, reason would be that violence and nudity could potentially engage an audience.

'Hook' them, if you will.

And once they're hooked you no longer need it and can get down to the business of telling your story.

Game of Thrones is a good example concerning nudity in particular.

Because once the 'Look! Boobs!' phase had passed, they relaxed on it significantly and then used nudity sparingly as a story-telling device to shock the viewer.
