ELI5: Why is modern day camouflage pixelated?
gpt
The pixelation softens the edges of the large scale pattern and makes the outlines, and thus the underlying objects, harder to discern. It is also a lot easier to fabricate clothing with pixelated designs which lowers the costs of the clothing.

So basically the Marines believe it to work better than traditional camo designs and it is also cheaper to produce, so that satisfies them on the two most important facets of uniform design.
