Yes, selling R and PG/G versions of their movies would increase their market. That's what they want. They're a business. They want more people to buy their DVDs. That's why they release "Unrated" unedited versions of material and R rated versions.

I see them selling unrated (the versions that would not make it to the movie theater), but I don't see any PG versions of R rated movies. They could easily do this and make a ton of money, but it shows that the business reasons are outweighed by other reasons. Hollywood does not make movies just for profit--they do it for other reasons as well. In other words, the profit motive is not there primary concern.
