People who buy synthetics for "performance" overwhelmingly do not need them. This is most true for "rugged" clothing that will never see rough treatment (the ubiquitous synthetic raincoat with Gore membrane and DWR coating that goes from front door to car door and car door to mall door is one of my favourite pieces of modern nonsense), but also extends to athleisure rarely worn for exercise (I work out like a motherfucker in cotton and still have not died of it). This is mostly the progressive middle class doing "overcoming athlete" cosplay, akin to the workin' man cosplay of the soft handed conservative suburban dad who drives his kids around in an F 350 or similar. A sane society would outlaw this useless insanity.
