Militaries don't change their uniforms and or much unless it is really needed. The Mosin Nagant served from Tsarist times, well into the 1950s. BDUs from the 1970s have only now been replaced entirely to fulfill a combat need. If it works, be it a weapon or clothing, why change it?
Mm-m....good point. With your logic, though, none of the buildings/vehicles would need to change their appearance, if they worked alright. A construction yard, for example, could remain the same
