The change of clothes has much less to do with comfort but has everything to do with the what's portrayed as cool, lol what's comforting about decking up with a coat and necktie in the hot climate of South India, none that I can see, it's similar to the language issue, during Muslim rule a lot of foreign words seeped into the languages because they were dominant then, now English words are coming in because in today's world the West is the dominant force, same thing with dress.
Also I don't know how clothes worn on murtis are outdated, I don't know if people noticed but despite all the talk of comfort level the majority of women to this day do wear the sari and the men especially in villages do wear dhoti/lungi.
