Because you won't find any sort of agreement on gear from the field.

All it takes is asking the crew here who likes kydex and other molded polymer pieces of kit and who doesn't. Even if you found a majority liking one over the other, then start asking what features they want on a holster, sling, magazine pouches etc.

The discussion will go on for a while -- probably ten to fifteen years -- which is why the military is ten to fifteen years behind the civilian world in such equipment matters.
