Some people don't value polyester clothing and usually for good reason. It's always good to be informed. Why don't you care to know what you are wearing?
Polyester is a synthetic material that is easy and cheap to manufacture. It is the embodiment of manufacturers cutting corners when "Polyblends" come into the picture.
Polyester does not breathe, retains smells, and can cause skin irritation, rashes, and bacterial growth by trapping sweat and heat. Some very cheaply-made polys also are heavily dyed with chemicals that create harmful runoff when washed in the washing machine. Along with the inevitable microplastic leeching, the toxic runoff can end up in local water supplies or local waterways.
Polyester is also often treated with chemicals like formaldehydes (for wrinkle resistance) or PFAS ("forever chemicals" for water, grease, or dirt resistance), which can be absorbed through the skin.
Polyester is dangerous for people, it's dangerous for the environment. Buying into the "fast fashion" trends these days of purely synthetic garments leads to more problems than it solves.

This article^ also mentions Adidas' pledge to focus on "recycled" polyester in their garments. This creates an entirely other issue with trying to "greenwash" their marketing by making you feel better about purchasing these poly products since it has this volatile marketing buzzword included.
IMO we need to focus on recycling the massive influx of wasteful plastics on this Earth, but optimally in a way that isn't in direct contact with the skin or the body. Use it to build useful things, just not clothes. Stick to natural fibers.
