So Romans used to wear those strap things under their torso armor, that would hang over their lower body. What if soldiers had armor for their crotches, but also for the sides of their thighs? Increased protection AND increased badassery

It's nothing new.

Is a split between green/tan/white and IR dying for temperate/desert/arctic environs sufficient for practical purposes? Would you need a separate "urban" pattern so you can pretend like it's the 1990s forever?

"Woodland"
"Urban"
"Winter"
"Desert"

Deserts tend to be reflective in both thermal infrared bands. Camo must match these properties or it will stick out badly. Exploiting the NIR reflectivity of green plants, in particular, is a classic counter-camouflage technique because conventional dyes do nothing in this range.

I very much doubt that. I would imagine that instead they expect to be stabbing someone with it. Big difference.
Basically I don't have proof for this. But the logic is simple. The one and only reason why you would want to attack someone with a knife if you have a gun is if for some reason you don't want to be heard. And that means covertly stabbing someone dead. If you actually get into a fight with him and start knife-fencing all he has to do is shout real loud to his friends and they will come and shoot you dead.
And if all you want to do is just stab someone dead virtually anything that is substantial enough to kill will do the job. And at that point tradition takes hold for morale purposes.
