My personal take is that when a new species/planet joins the Federation they get to design a new uniform for Star Fleet. The Betazeds picked the miniskirts from TOS.
The forgotten era uniforms are when Starfleet decided they were mature grown ups now. They adopted the Enterprise’s insignia across the fleet and stop letting ships/captains have any say over the uniforms. By the time we get to TNG they’ve relaxed it a bit again.
A friend once told me this. If you call someone a ‘fanboy’ and they chuckle and nod, they are just a fan. If you call them a ‘fanboy’ and they go into a two hour diatribe on how their devotion is perfectly justified and rational, then you’ve got a ‘fanboy.’

That would actually be fun headcanon.
Who do you think made the monster maroons?
Tholians
I seriously doubt they’re in the Federation. Especially during that time.
I was joking. Maybe it was a Tholian spy that thought the uniforms would hamper Kirk
Now that is headcanon I can get behind.

No idea, I’m not a super-fan.
I will say that I like those uniforms the best of all the iterations. Maybe because Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie?
I think you’re a bigger fan than you realize.
