If you’re thinking of this, consider that those who buy clothes in XS have to pay the same amount as the XXL size for that same shirt or pants. Despite the XS garment being a third as much material and stitching.
That only works for some clothing. Usually by the time you get to XL the arms or legs aren’t proportionately wider, only the body, so the sizing often doesn’t really work. If it’s numbered sizes, above the regular range there usually is a premium price for + sizes, same as for petite.

Once you get above about XXXL, you typically have to pay significantly more to get a shirt that fits correctly in that size.
Not arguing, just food for thought…
The extra material and stitching you are talking about costs less than a US penny for any manufacturing process.
