They float naked in their own piss with pipes sticking out of their asses. Sure, what's not to respect?

This makes no sense - if the tube in the ass is to collect bodily waste before it goes into the ecto-plasma, then they will need one for the genitals as well.
Also, I'd not say that the old 'podders don't use suits' VS the new 'podders use suits' contradict each other - there is a good few years of development between these two and using suits, or partial suits, like only underwear, is likely a matter of choice. It might even have different levels of 'control ease' where no clothing/suit is perfect because the neutrients in the ecto-plasma then is taken up by the capsuleer's body directly, but at the cost of modesty, while a full suit allows only the face/head to be the contact area.
Having said that, I much preffer the older idea that suits are simply not used - seems far more logical and considerably more badass to me, but that's an oppinion.
