You don't have to dye it if you want that "iconic" look. Others should have that choice.
The preservation of iconic themes is important in an MMO that draws a lot of fans from the single player games. There's quite a lot of things present in the game that are either recurring themes in the series or affectionate references to past titles. I think it's pretty telling in itself that the game didn't launch with the option to dye the armour sets in question whilst pretty much every other piece of gear - bar a few exceptions - can be altered. That makes me assume it's an intentional move, so perhaps instead of people requesting for it to be changed they should accept that not everything needs to have customisation options to appease them?
