For most men's dress shirts the fashions only rarely change and the most significant changes are in the collars and cuffs. These are also the places where staining is the most significant. What if we had shirts that had removable collars and cuffs but with the main shirt being of a very long lasting material? This way you can adjust as necessary, but it gets rid of the "fast fashion" that is so prevalent in the world. This also allows for less trash to be created by the clothing industry and reduces the overall impact on our world as we change away from a disposable society.
I'm guessing it's a cost of manufacturing thing as well the necessity of capitalism to increase total sales- better to sell a $50 shirt than a $5 collar. Kinda like why men's pants don't use a "double breasted" fastener for the fly on pants which would be much more comfortable for your tackle than the current single line securing system. I want my codpiece, dammit.
