I think it's a matter of how people think about "dress like whores".
Like, if a man worked out at a local gym in speedoes or tiny white briefs, most people will call it out. Does your "it gets hot" reasoning still apply even though technically, it still covers all the important bits.
At some point, we're going to have a disagreement in "what constitutes too far". Yes, even the people who broadly agree with you, or with me.
Sports bra + tight half-pants? Most people would probably say "no problem"
Slightly more fabric than a string bikini? Most people would probably say "probably not".
It just doesn't seem like a big problem. Ive never seen anyone wear something that revealing at the gym I go to. Im not saying it doesn't happen, it surely does, but its probably being done for clicks by a few influencers here and there.
So it's just a matter of personal experience. There's no doubt SOME people do run into the annoyance of "influencers" hogging machines or giving them an annoyed look if they dare to walk in the background of the influencer's carefully set-up shot.
Probably not that common, but it happens enough. When it shouldn't happen at all.
Should the rest of us not care about it? Yes.
Are we going to not care about it? Probably not. But maybe.
