There's a mod I got that replaces the T-60 suits at the beginning with T-51. Then when the loading screen shows T-60 it says (not canon though) that the T-60 was made using tech reverse engineered from the Enclave armor captured in the Capital Wasteland. That was also my idea to retcon it so hopefully they will change that in a future game! In F3 you mostly see T45 armor in the BOS so it would make sense that they preferred to base a new suit on it and that's why the T-60 looks similar.
Does anyone else have a problem with only playing one way through a game with multiple options? For example, none of the other Fallout 4 storylines (Railroad, Institute, I might do the Minutemen one) really appeal to me. I end up replaying a game the exact same way, well mostly, each time. I have my preferred way and I usually go with that. Another example would be Skyrim where I've always played as a Nord or Imperial. I don't have any interest in being an Orc, Elf, or Khajiit. Maybe if the magic was better I might, but I like my bow and swords too much! I still have a lot of fun, but any time I start thinking about doing something different, it doesn't sound as fun as how I usually play.
