ELI5: why don't we wear our socks inside out i.e so that the smooth and comfortable parts are in direct contact with our feet (as opposed to the tangly knitting conventional way?)

As the above states. Is there a reason, other than how it looks, as to why we don't wear socks inside out so that the soft, smooth part is in contact with our feet. 


Please note: I am talking about normal white, everyday socks. I think they're named tubed??

Socks are designed to be a friction interface between your feet and your shoes. they cling to your feet so that only the sock part moves in relation to your shoe, thus protecting your skin. 

By having the outside rubbing surface fuzzy, the sock will quickly become frayed and you will get holes in your socks.

For indoor use it's even worse as the tiny loops catch on the floor and rip.
