Why is headwear such an unflinching design characteristic of the protagonist role?

You don't wear a hat indoors
A hat also leaves something to the imagination. Can you imagine Gen II Ethan without his hat? Or Gen I Red? Brendan himself ignited arguments for years.

In more recent games, it's so I can take it off and make my own trainer that looks distinct from the defaults

Sugimori peaked with Gen 1 and it's not even close.
Just like Toriyama peaked in the Saiyan Saga.

Pokemon trainers are adventurers/travelers by nature. Spending long periods of time in the sun without a hat or something to cover your head isn't safe.

Forgot image. There's a reason farmers, cowboys, etc are always seen with big hats.
