I only ask because I don't understand (probably because I've never owned a pair of officiating pants) why the standard belt loop pants are frowned upon. In modern society, belt-less pants are reserved for women and senior citizens.

Frankly that is a weird question to me.
I do not wear knickers anytime in my regular life but that is what you wear during a football game if you are officiating.
This is not modern society we are talking about. Officiating in a particular sport is what we are actually discussing. You wear what is part of the uniform or looks like other officials at other levels. You do not see NBA Officials wearing a belt. You do not see NCAA officials wearing a belt. Frankly I cannot ever think of a single time when I have seen an football official or baseball umpire wear an adjustable hat, but you see people all the time wear baseball hats that are adjustable (I know I have a few in my closet).
You want to look like an official. You are not going out to work or what you wear when you are hanging out. I do not shine my shoes the same way in my regular life, but that is what is expected. So you do what is expected and what makes you look professional or you allow others to judge you negatively.
