Wouldn't wearing shorts with numbers be preferable to stickers on their legs?

No. It's slower, potentially.

Yes, similar to how beach volleyball outfits are totally for aerodynamics and nothing else at all.

Lol, one can certainly say the uniforms are not creating significant aerodynamic drag, that is true.

Not for aerodynamics but they are comfortable and unrestrictive, players can absolutely choose to wear less revealing clothes, but it would genuinely put them at a minor disadvantage.

They were blocked from wearing less revealing clothing, because it meant less people would watch.
