why wouldn’t any follower of Christ be in awe of the fact that this was the tunic worn by our Lord (or this was the shroud our Lord was wrapped in in the case of the Shroud)! No one is worshipping these items.
Would the idea that you could spend time with the living Lord instead of his tunic have any meaning for you? That someone would chose the shroud or tunic is revealing...........

Why do you phrase it as an either-or? Catholics have the Real Presence. I’ve never encountered that in an air-conditioned auditorium with copies “Become a Better You” in the seats.

Would the idea that you could spend time with the living Lord instead of his tunic have any meaning for you? And if a memorial of Jesus brings someone closer to the living Lord himself? Or are you worshipping the Bible because you spend time with it instead of with the living Lord?

Would the idea that you could spend time with the living Lord instead of his tunic have any meaning for you? For us Catholics, this is a daily reality. We have the Real Presence of the Lord in the Eucharist.
