Lol, that is quite a list you have compiled. Is this... a problem for you or something? Yes, popular products are often copied by other companies.

Like Rambler said, these are used for camping, hiking etc. I do think there are some wacky things being pushed related to gender norms, gender identity and such, but this is not an example of that.

The alternative to this product is that women would always have to pull their pants down and squat in the woods, and there is some risk being seen doing that, especially in an area where trees and bushes are more sparse. This is helpful for modest women who are nervous about being seen. With this, they only need to face away from the trail and do not need to pull down their pants.
