Separates replace suits, so the outfit needs a contrast in place of a tie.
Fewer rules, so the aim is a recognisable point of view.
You need to be easy to identify and to look consistent. Many employers set a uniform or a colour.
Only your top half is seen, at low resolution, under whatever light you have.
