I can't remember Ubisoft saying anything like that about the missing eyeballs,
At some point there was a 'copy protection' scheme which would make your crew members flat in 2D and make their eyes bug out in 3D a rather comical effect. It also gave some of us amusement when someone would post "Hey my crew is flat" and revealed them as having a pirated copy.

After that people would knee jerk react whenever any graphical anomolie was encountered that 'you too must be a pirate'.

As we all know the sunken eyeball is a known bug for legitimate users. Wether or not it is an artifact of the clever protection scheme is unknown.
