Why was the fishbowl astronaut helmet phased out in favor of the modern version?

sci fi. Nobody likes to admit this but a lot is driven by the sci fi of the day. Of course everything needs to be functional but I don't think it's a coincidence.

the first style never actually made it to space, so they figured they needed to get serious and make a real helmet for this one

The right isn't even useful for anything but LEO iirc

It's why they're going with something else for Artemis

This, it needs to "look good" which often means looking how the public expect based on media of the time.
