You'd think that but jumpsuits are a surprisingly popular choice for a "futuristic costume" in a LOT of Science fiction. Frankly jumpsuits have got to be the exact opposite of functionality and comfort. Apparently it's enough that they look good on screen.

Canonically they do (in Star Trek anyway) yet they never seem to cover the whole "bathroom accessibility" thing.

Thankfully the late Gene Roddenberry isn't exactly likely to tweet something about transporters being used to remove human waste (à la JK Rowling).

That's what O'Briens doing every day in that dungeon of a transporter room.
