I have my theory on this. Many won’t like that, but I think many religious practices were cultural customs at some point of time.

This is exactly right. For example, the “4 wives” issue is controversial in a monogamous world, but 6th century Arabs used to have up to 8 or 9 wives, so 4 was actually them practicing restraint. Stating this isn’t haram or anything, just a fact.
