At least for the pockets thing it's a difference between what women think they want and what they actually want. When most women say they want pants with pockets, what they mean is pants that look the same as the ones they already have, but also with pockets. That's impossible to make, so women are forced to choose between tight pants that highlight their figure and pockets and they choose the former. As for bras, after a quick google my less than educated guess is that because bigger bras have rapidly increased in demand in the past two decades (and even then many wear bras that are too small), at the turn of the century business execs were right to consider bigger bras to be a marginal market with no point in worrying too much about it. Now, however, they're just out of touch. If I'm right hopefully this will correct itself once someone wakes up to the business opportunity.
I've not seen womens pants available with larger pockets and non-form fitting. I'm not sure you can say it's just a choice issue when the choice would be to just buy mens pants instead.
My source here is basically Reddit so I'm not sure how true this is, but I've heard multiple times that businessmen occasionally try to invest in women's pants with pockets but they don't get enough demand to make a profit. There are still some who have managed to make money this way so there are places that sell pants with pockets, but it's a small market. And no, I have no idea what those places are.
I think the problem is that the vast vast majority of women's clothing, especially fast fashion, lacks pockets of good size (or any at all). The smaller places that make garments with good pockets are usually priced higher because they're inherently not targeting the mass market (because they can't compete with the big companies, so their only hope is to carve out a niche in the high quality domain)
