Why is the awrah for men simpler compared to women?

Salam alaikum, I've been thinking about this. Our sisters have to wear hijab, cover their arms and legs, avoid shorts, etc. But for brothers, it's basically just regular pants and a t-shirt, and that's enough. What's the wisdom here? Not questioning Allah or the Prophets, I'm just trying to understand the reason.

It's about responsibility. Men are providers, out in public more, so less restriction, but still must lower gaze.

Because women are like pearls, gotta protect them more. Men are the guardians, so our test is different. Alhamdulillah for Islam.

Bro, men are naturally more visually inclined, so women cover more to prevent fitna. It's a protection for both.

Look at it this way: men have to provide and pray in congregation, so impractical to have same covering. But we still have awrah from navel to knee.

Allah knows His creation. Women's beauty is more apparent, so extra covering preserves modesty. Simple as that.
