Not sure if I see your train of logic.
To me: "whore"=derogatory. And since we sometimes sell degradation fantasy, it makes to use it in marketing.

But just because a woman does it for money as part of the creation of product, doesn't mean she doesn't deserve respect (especially within an industry that does a whole lot for the money.)

A woman who does it for the money can be a performer, talent, porn actress, porn star, etc.
But the word "whore" has a negative conotation and using it in a business setting implies disrespect (and makes us look bad, quite frankly.)

Of course, You may *not* respect women who perfom in porn. Clearly many people here do not.
