One more thought and I'll try to let this go. If crop tops are so necessary for comfort and body temperature, why do boys not wear them?
I always assumed it was easier to toss flyers by the waist without having the fabric ride up, especially in coed stunting (think toss stunts). Skin can afford the bases a better grip, without slipping. In college, the guys always grabbed our waist under our shirts for that reason, so we began practicing in sports bras... though admitedly, when we got sweaty during a long practice we would slip shirts back on so we wouldn't slip through cradles. My theory is, it started with that reason and trickled down to allstars and continued because of fashion and tradition... much like the reason most uniform bottoms are still skirts rather than the more practical shorts. I have no documentation for this... just my thoughts.
