I understand that just fine. What part do you not understand about it not needing to exist at all? Also the picture you used as your example for "it's just the mannequin that makes it look bad" is not the one from the OP.
Just because there's some outraged people online doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.
It exists because it's a preference of some athletes. A lot of athletes like tight fitting outfits with the legs and arms cut off because it offers the least resistance when there's nothing flapping around and it doesn't get in way of their arms and legs movement.
