After WW2 there was a general watering down of the martial arts in Japan as required by the occupying forces (US). I expect that this watering down is a reason for the lack of a "killing" atemi at the end of a throwing or locking technique in many styles.

That's really a misconception and a myth - martial arts was taken out of the school curriculum for a time, but there was no general prohibition on training.
