Really, apart from Zippers and Velcro, clothing fastening technology seems to be stuck in the 19th (or maybe earlier than that) century

Yes I want self-tightening shoes, continuous belts (some exists, or close enough solutions, but still with the buckle), self-adjusting and tightening wrist bands, etc

And don't get me started on "button down" shirts, I actively prefer those with the rivet type fastener because at least they're trying

Rivet fasteners are great for doing a hulk impression as they all pop open. Less useful if you are an able-bodied adult who does more than sit or walk slowly throughout the day.
I never had them pop unexpectedly in me, and I prefer less formal attire when doing physical activities
