I wonder why they're still using that design

They did have a buttload of TOS uniforms though.

Maybe personal preference? The other folks just had the yellow jumpsuit seen in the past episode.

The TOS uniforms were not owned by Starfleet, but by one of the vendors at the station who was selling them. Also they were the uniforms of long-dead officers so I can imagine people not wanting to wear them.
