It came as a solution to a problem at the time
Remember this is before there was specific athletic clothing so people doing judo had their regular street clothes getting ruined
The fix was they used the jackets firefighters would wear because they were easily available and rugged so they could handle practice
Don't blame him that people refused to update once better options became available

Half of the throws don't require any clothing.

This was a time when people wore suits everywhere. The gi is a long lasting substitue for when youre training. Even today in colder temperatures the gi techniques can be applicable

I also recall reading that some of the throws are safer when done with jacket grips rather than grabbing the person directly, though I'm not sure.

It's a decent stand-in for any long-sleeved upper body garment, but unlike those it's also durable enough to survive training
