SE, is it that hard to make the Mogstation outfits dyable?

I'm curious as to what their process of making dyeable items is like.
If I remember correctly, they make a texture for the undyed version then make textures for each dye color. I would imagine they have some way to streamline the process once they identify which areas are "dyeable".
Would it be easier if they just had to select which areas of a piece of gear is "dyeable" then have the color show up as a filter from a color-picker?

Sorry, I'm not well versed with stuff like this - does that mean they're making one model per color? That's.. terribly inefficient, if so lol.

The OG outfit is probably just a one piece, making it so that we have to suffer the same onesie hell as a result. I just don't understand why they wouldn't make an ounce of an effort.. at least try.. to make it a new outfit alltogther.

When it comes to colors, they have the one model but multiple texture files that they replace whenever you use a dye.
There are multiple models but those are for gender and race.
