I bet ya didn't even notice he never had feet. I for sure didn't until about 6 months ago. The Kenner designers had to give him feet for the toy, so they just gave him feet similar to Artoo's and called it a day. Now, every IG unit has these feet.
We can each theorize about in-universe reasons for why things are they way they are, >"fashion changes, it's been decades, different cultures within Tusken Raider tribes, etc",
but often, It doesn't get us anywhere until we are specifically told in a movie or book why things are the way they are
