Anything else is crap designed to make contractors money. Might through in a sub-topic on point #3, in that there is something to be said for tradition, as long as it doesn't violate #1 and #2 above.
From photos of my father, WWII USAAF corporal, in his dress uniform it was olive drab blouse (jacket) and matching trousers. The “Pinks and Greens” were the officer’s dress uniform. I’ve also seen that in the Osprey uniform series. Thus this adoption is of the old Army officer’s uniform for all ranks.

One of the dress uniforms looked like business attire because they wanted to be more like businessmen. They aren’t businessmen, they’re soldiers, stand as they enter.
