I don’t see any use case for this retailer outside of doing scummy shit.

How hard is it to take pictures of the individual colors. I hate that photoshop recoloring that companies do. I know many have been doing it for ages, but damn, just take a picture of the thing you want me to spend money on. It's just more ways they cut corners and offer a worse service.
If you're talking about 1 jacket in 4 colors, it's not a big deal. Shit, I could do that.
But if you're talking about 10,000 products in 12 colors? Yeah, much bigger deal.
The companies that have 10k products can afford to photograph them all. Maybe it's not important to you personally, but I'm not sure why people are willing to accept a worse service for the same or more money. I want to see how a pattern falls on a garment. Plenty of large companies are able to provide that service just fine. Other companies will cut that corner because their customers don't care and it won't affect their bottom line. I understand that's the way things happen, I just think it's not in consumers best interest to be comfortable having main properties of the product they are purchasing digitally altered.
They can afford to, but when it's time to update your site or app for the fall line, do you have the time to do it?
I mean, I guess you could crowdsource it, or require the manufacturers to supply the images.
