Why do old statues (Michaelangelo's David is the one that brought this to mind) have pubic hair, but no other body hair?

I just realized a lot of old statues feature some bush, but there is no other hair at all. Not on the chest, butt, arms, or legs. Were they shaving their body hair back then? Was this just an idealized version of what man should look like? And if that is the case, why leave some pubic hair but no other hair anywhere else on the body?

More can be said, but Question about body hair on statues. written by u/quinarius_fulviae gives a partial answer to your question
