Why don’t they wear suits? And how do other businesspeople take them seriously when they don’t wear suits? It seems super unprofessional.

Suits are a lot less common in the professional world than they used to be.
I tend to find through my work experience that it depends on a couple of factors, which industry, which department, and how senior they are.
For example when jumping on calls or attending client meetings, the IT peoples, Engineers, anyone technical really is pretty much never in a suit. I don’t have much to do with HR departments, but I to find their 50/50, could be the “chill” HR department where the HR lady is passing off active wear as work clothes, or the strict HR department where they are 100% in suits.
The more senior you get, especially in sales and marketing roles, C-Suite, etc. the far more common suits become again, the only industry I don’t see this so prevalent in is the tech industry, however I don’t work with tech companies too often as they typically have their own people lol.
I know in my role, I only wear a suit or a blazer 3 times a year, and that’s my companies conferences where we have a dress code for the first day.
