High waisted pants and shorts are inferior to normal rise ones

I 35(f) cannot understand why women wear high waisted pants and shorts. They are inferior in every aspect to normal/ low rise pants.

Having gone through the weight gain and loss of giving birth, I always preferred non high rise pants at every stage of my physical appearance/comfort.

They're extremely uncomfortable in the midsection vs normal pants, low rise pants (as long as my butt is covered).

High rise pants make my butt appear randomly in the middle of the fabric and don't accentuate my butt nearly as much as normal pants do.

And they just look bad. I don't know why we brought back this '70s trend. That was terrible then and it's terrible now.
