I stumbled on this article from a wrestling publication I thought you guys might be interested in. It turns out the singlet is a relatively recent concept in wrestling. And there is some belief that a lot of high school guys won’t go out for the sport of wrestling because the singlet is too revealing or sexual. Maybe that’s why they’ve become higher cut with longer legs in recent years. https://intermatwrestle.com/articles/17094

Thanks Hard2Hold, really interesting article. As with so many things, "traditions" are often comparatively recent things.
