Sports jackets were made specifically for casual everyday wear because they are easier to maintain compared to suit jackets, often don't have lining, and come in more casual and rugged fabrics like linen, corduroy, leather, even denim. They are also much more functional than a hoodie, with all the pockets they have everywhere, while also giving you a well-defined silhouette.
>the most basic and cheap shit you can throw on is what I would call casual.
Casual doesn't mean cheap or basic. That kind of mindset is the result of fast fashion consoomerism where quantity is more important than quality.
