I, for one, was behaving no such way. I was simply relaying the merits of robes. We just can't have options for every single taste and style though. It would never release.
Options between robes and jackets and shirts is just a lot of extra work for a minor aesthetic issue (I can't imagine anyone being that upset by having to wear robes that will probably not all be particularly bulky, presuming they don't decide to wear armor). It requires a lot of redundancy in stats and can cause the RNG problems in generating loot, because you never know which ones will be available in shops and we know they can't all be.
In general sometimes we just need to limit choices and decisions to put them where they matter more. I'm just of the opinion that this isn't a big deal like getting more original gear made is.
