I'm pretty annoyed at how it seems like clothing sizes are going all bonkers, I don't care that I now fit a size lower by design because that means wasting more time trying to find something that fits.

Yes, wasting time and money and getting stressed out about it.

I’m just looking for basic everyday wear that fits comfortably and is machine washable. Why is that so hard?

Seasonal clothing also gets worse. I do not like the options for Summer.

I’m not tall or large enough to wear men’s clothes (maybe a jacket in s/xs will fit loosely if I can find it) and kids clothes are now covered with obnoxious designs that make the age bracket clear.
