Do we know for certain that a unit’s uniform never changes at all in game? Most grenadier caps disappeared by the end of the 18th century IIRC. And long trousers began to supplant knee breeches. So CA had a rationale to included updated skins had they wanted.
The armor and weapon changes were excellent in M2:TW. True, the new skins do represent tech upgrades but the graphic work was done just the same and could have been done for Empire too.
