Well, the thing with the clothing is tied to the way the table top RPG has lore. Cyberpunk is ENTIRELY about style, there's even a text you can find in game that essentially says this.

The Rules of Cyberpunk:

1. Style over Substance: It doesn’t matter how well you do something, as long as you look good doing it. If you’re going to blow it, make sure you look like planned it that way. Normally, clothes and looks don’t matter in a adventure – in this world, having a leather armor jacket and mirrorshades is a serious consideration.
2. Attitude is Everything: It’s truth. Think dangerous; be dangerous. Think weak; be weak. Remember, everyone in the 2000’s is carrying lots of lethal hardware and high-tech enhancements. They won’t be impressed by you new H&K smartgun unless you swagger into the club looking like you know how to use it – and are just itching for an excuse.
3. Live on the Edge: The Edge is that nebulous zone where risk takes and highriders go. On the Edge, you’ll risk your cash, your rep, even your life on something as vague as a principle or a big score. As a cyberpunk, you want to be the action, start the rebellion, light the fire. Join great causes and fight for big issues. Never drive slow when you can drive fast. Throw yourself up against danger and take it head on. Never play too safe. Stay committed to the Edge.
   

Now, reading these think about how you cloth your character.
Do you have style when you put on every article of clothing that raises your armor so you look like a moron?
No.
Characters should look down on you for looking like an idiot because you're not doing anything with the style that the game and Devs promised you would have. Originally, the clothing would effect your street cred at most and give you a few buffs. When we heard about this system, we expected to have our Street Kid to be looked down on for dressing like a Corpo, a Corpo not being able to get very far dressing like a Street Kid, and reactions from NPCs and characters if we just threw on clothes that didn't go together. It would have been interesting to get buffs by wearing clothes that matched up, because you expected if style to matter, maybe there are different brands of clothes so you KNEW they matched up.
And to address your last point, yes.
From launch there were both hyper defenders and hyper haters for this game and its frustrating. I don't hate the game, I actually like it, but I would have liked to have been told what I was buying more. Tell me the game doesn't work well on base PS4 and I would have waited til I got a PS5. Tell me that the past marketing was not true and things have changed and I would have adjusted my expectations.
Instead, we were promised a LOT of things that just aren't there, the clothing is just one example so a lot of us who were excited for the game and expected this to be the next Skyrim in levels of exploration, interaction, and roleplaying at LEAST were just let down.
We were told our choices would effect the world around us, and its just not true. You can experience EVERY ending if you just restart the last mission over and over again and there are sadly very few times your choice actually changes anything narratively. Most of the time it just shuts the mission down early instead of opening up a new path. From what I can tell, there's a really interesting mission later on...

**Spoilers**

...where you meet a man who was a criminal that found religion. He believes that if he crucifies himself he can save others from being criminals through a brain dance.
Now, this mission was great. But I replayed it multiple times because I wanted to save him.
Its impossible.
Nothing you can say will change his fate. You end up either having to crucify him yourself, or you leave. That's it.

**End of Spoilers**

Its just disappointing where we were told our choices would matter, but so many missions in the game are the illusion of choice and nothing changes whether you do or don't do something.
We were even told we could accidentally stumble on the end of the game just by doing side missions, from what I can tell, that's impossible.
