there is polymer leather which works fine enough, and if you're a futurist and like wacky technology i remember reading about fungal leather as well as leather made from kombucha scoby, both sound weird and cool. using actual skin for clothing is weird but uncool

true, they are better, because you're not wearing someone else's skin over your own which is kinda weird

i find it nothing else than natural, but i don't want to argue about this. i think that leather is used because it's both strong and nice to touch. if there was another synthetic that could match leather’s durability, feel, and aging, i would use it over leather. that's why i think that lab grown meat could be a good idea
