Why has our spacesuits, remained as well as unchanged in real time field application for nearly 50 years?

I recognize the fact that almost all fabric, and many other parts have been changed. These changes have only improved upon an otherwise unchanged product. F.example our space walks are ridicoulus, it's basically "Tryna float dis' way, got a rope for ALL failures". That compared to a "rought-draft" example. What about a hydralic system with valves/nozzles behind the shoulders, under elbow, under hand, under knees, behind calfs and under feet. This could run on either/both a canister with pressure and/or a teeny small-time generator primarily recharged or refuled at hq, in addition is semi selfsufficient (If i can ask for leniance on the science as it is just an idea) semi viable example: deep seas diving re-breather. And the spacesuit in itself will have constant small batches of electrical power from the solar panels.

The maneuverability changes alone, not to mention longer, like farther space walks. And the way I see, should not be an issue to learn the basics. And will honestly have hella progression potential since it's space and you are just floating there, virtually endeless possibilities of directions to take, and quite a few valves to choose between with the suit. One would also change direction quite often and quickly while maneuvrouring around the ISS. The military grade/space version of a chair with wheels and a fire extinguisher.

I'm asking the question why does there not exist a solar panel covered suit, with multi position hydralic movement. Or any other drastic and game changing suit design for that matter.

Is it basically that NASA dont ser any value so its never been prioritized?

I think it would be a milestone and possible innovative trailblazer when it comes too humans in space.

Tldr; while spacesuits have become safer, more durable, greatly more protective against rays from the sun and have received a gamechanger in communication, they remain virtually the same, No drastic in field changes that I'm aware of.

Why not makeba spacesuit version of a Battlestar Galactica fighter ship the colonial viper.
