Partly because it's a myth. Also my mesh base layers seem to bunch up on my neck when wearing a skin suit, which is a very un-pro-like look. With normal bibs/jersey, I'll wear a mesh base layer when the temps are only mildly chilly. If it's actually chilly, but I'm still trying to be aero-ish, I then wear a thermal/fleece base layer.
