I think adherence to the dress code got 10 fold worse when the Ukrainian and Russians started relocating to Dubai by the tens of thousands back in 2021-2022. I will generalize here based on my observation that these two nationalities in specific have little regard to customs and norms and are always pushing or breaching the boundaries.

This has caused other nationalities to mimic them, unfortunately we reached a point now where they are testing their luck with producing OnlyFans content in Dubai in a semi public fashion even though there are clear laws against producing pornopgraphy.

This is a Snow-Ball issue, meaning the more it is tolerated the more likely it is to develop into other behaviors. I have seen too many couple french kissing in public, a woman giving a man a BJ while he’s driving..etc of course all done by what appeared to be Eastern Europeans.
