I've read that 1st pattern jungles were based on the jump jackets that none other than Bill Yarborough was responsible for designing and the further patterns of that were further improvements on an already good design...if it's not broke, don't fix it?
Is there something I'm not understanding fully?

Yeah.
The need to sell something new to the U.S. Government, and the need for someone (person or organization) to come up with something new to validate their existence.
This looks like a pitiful attempt by some leg to come up with something new to be stylish, look spiffy in garrison, and be comfortable in the air conditioned office.
I see nothing wrong with the jungles, other than their abbreviated service life. I would us a camo pattern, though, and sleeve pockets.
