Clothing companies do produce them every now and then, but they systematically don't sell well, as similar clothing without proper pockets looks tighter, slimmer, and gets preferred by the majority of shoppers.

This.

Classic case of people saying they want something and then making purchasing decisions based on priorities.

I would caveat: The majority of shoppers who buy clothing regularly and are into fashion. Which it makes sense for fashion companies to prioritize. Practical women who make pockets a priority also don't replace clothes just because they're out of style, take fewer chances on new things, and buy less.

True, and of course if someone buys 3x more clothing, then their opinion literally matters 3x more to the manufacturers.
