Aren't pockets just sewn in belt pouches?

I'll take a pic of a traditional New Guinean belt pouch I have ( I collect all types of Oceania stuff ) . Guys would attach these to their belts and the belts were pretty much just strings to attach useful objects to.

Things fall out of pockets. Things get caught in pockets. A good pouch has not these problems

The modern equivalent are cargo pants where tissues can hide in the gillion and one pockets. Loved by tradies. Hated by housewives.
