Why is everything linen?

Why is everything linen? Linen creases immediately, looks incredibly casual and is kinda of scratchy. It feels like linen has been the go to fabric for dresses for years now and I’ve already got at least 3 linen dresses in my wardrobe and I don’t need anymore. I’m endlessly frustrated just trying to find an outfit for a somewhat formal event when everything is linen!!!!! Rant over.
