I remember reading a comment saying that women don't actually want pockets. The manufacturers and retailers have data on this.
What's happening is the women who do want them are in online bubbles that give them the impression that most women want pockets.
It's like how most gamers don't give a shit about DRM, so those of us who know better are stuck with it anyway.
The only data I could find suggests women do want pockets, particularly in pants.
I would wager that the companies that stand to gain or lose money has this data. Or you have the opportunity of a lifetime to start a company that would cater to a black hole of demand. I know what i'm betting on.
Those companies also make handbags, which are substantially more profitable than pants with pockets as long as those companies keep handbags in fashion
