A far as male pants/trousers go, your choices are basically jeans, corduroys, or khakis (chinos). Corduroys are uncomfortably warm, IME, and of the remaining two jeans are a clear winner for convenience: they don't need to be ironed (chinos look terrible as soon as they get even slightly wrinkled, jeans do not), and they better conceal small spills and stains. Not much more to it than that, for me.

Yes, choice is very limited. Yet ... still when I need to find a pair of trousers, it can take me half a day of shopping. Online shopping is no good either, because I can't just write "low waist boot cut jeans, size 32/34" in any search engine. Even Amazon can't grok it. Seriously, somebody should fill that market gap.
Ans as any such symbol, marketing departments soon learned how to de-fang and package them for easy consumption.
Japan is at the pinnacle of denim these days (although the US is catching up again). If you want to go off the deep end, take a look at SF based Self Edge [ http://www.selfedge.com ] or NY based Blue in Green [ https://blueingreensoho.com/ ]

These denim stores are mostly focused on raw denim, which is generally a much higher quality garment than available normally.

Why, what happened to cotton lycra, herringbone, linen, traditional business suit trousers etc?

Combats. Cheap, comfortable, hardwearing, lots of pockets, dry quickly.
