Do you remember the early 90s and late 80s when clothes were much more expensive than in the late 90s on? That was really tough for a lot of us who didn’t come from rich families. I could probably deal with it now, but you aren’t considering a lot of people who would be absolutely ruined by a return to the old way.

Wages have been stagnant for 40 years. Fix wages (public policy, unions), not continually cutting cost to the bone to appease the shareholder class.
