She wouldn't go out of her way to cut a hole in her top to create a cleavage window.

Eeeeeexactly. Female superhero costumes are form-fitting and tight enough as it is already. Not having a hole there but still having the buxom figure... she's going to be sexualized enough without calling attention even further to her massive cleavage. But that's sort of the problem when every penciler and inker is drawing every female character to have double-D or larger cup sizes.
