No feedback about the interview. Just looking at that banner image and, wow, am I glad that's not how Teorita dresses in the anime. If that was the first thing I'd seen of this series, I would have written it off entirely. I'm probably more openminded than most people, honestly, but it's really hard going to bat for the versatility of anime as an artform when you can't help tripping over sexualized depictions of minors.

It makes me wonder if someone at Studio Kai decided that would end up being a talking point and didn't need the distraction.

That's the cover art for Volume 1 of the LN and only Volume 1 had that design. The subsequent volumes all have Teoritta's outfit redesigned to the one shown in the anime. You can see it on the cover of Volume 4 and Volume 5. So technically the anime didn't change her outfit; They just went with the current design.

I think that might be what this refers to:

I make adjustments where needed if a design doesn't align with the world (such as Teoritta's innerwear or Dotta's shorts)

I was thinking the same. In that cover and other ones (and probably the illustrations), Teorita is almost naked.
