Because that's kind of all it is, and I'm just REALLY glad it's gone, because it never made sense to me.
Honestly, I think that the old super hero suits drew a lot of inspiration from the old time strongmen outfits, which if you have seen pictures of, tended to be speedos. Your reaction is exactly why it's outdated and has needed a revamp if Superman is to stay in modern times.

If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things."
