It’s partriarchy’s and - its pendant - misogyny’s fault. People that pass as men do benefit from them and thus tend to manifest them more but they’re baked in the whole society.
People that aren’t men can internalize thoses biases too. Women enforcing other women wearing a shit ton of different outfits are manifesting internalized misogyny.
I’d argue that there’s also a dash of classism sprinkled on top of it because it seems more of an issue in bourgeois (or at least bourgeois affiliated) settings. I wear safety clothes and PPEs in the shop so not much variety here and there’s no issue if I wear the same outfit I like with friends.
And even at that patriarchy hurts even the “regular-est” cis straight white men. All that shit about “being a real man”, promoting risky behaviours, shutting down all emotions, etc aren’t good for anyone…
Reminds of a twitter exchange I saw a while back [it gets reposted a lot]
A woman complains that there’s a double standard that forces women to buy a lot of clothes and have many different looks.
A man responds that he doesn’t care if he sees a woman wearing the same thing every day.
Yes, they do it because other women care.
… and it is somehow men’s fault anyway.
It’s not specifically men’s fault.

At my old job, someone did a review on glass door and bitched about casual dress. The employees has the audacity to wear sweats.
