When I was looking for a suit for a wedding (never in my life owned a suit so had no idea that they are expensive) it became apparent that good suit from a shop costs same-ish with custom-made (also pre-made ones need to be adjusted so you need to go to sewing atelier anyway).
If you made menswear with no pockets, you'd have a bunch of inventory nobody is buying. I buy pants primarily based on how big the pockets are, it's like an evolutionary process, except for pants pockets.

Did you know you can go to a tailor to add/extend pockets?

Who has that kind of money? Other than medieval noblewomen 😔

There were definitely times that were much worse.

Also doesn't help that "the middle ages" covers a 1000 year span of time with a lot of technological, political, societal and economical changes.

You have nobody to blame but yourselves.
