I'm not an expert on Star Wars lore, but I think it's to dehumanize them and add them to the greater force of the Empire. The Empire doesn't need individuals for its troopers, they need tools and pawns that will follow orders when given.

And since they're just pawns, typically recruited en masse, why even cash out for good armor when you can just mass produce the bear minimum for dirt cheap? That's my take anyways

Aren't they all clones of Bubba Fet?

The original set of them was, but by the time of episode 4, basically none of them would be.

IIRC the cloning tech all got destroyed during the Clone Wars, so the Empire switched to conscription.
