A color with half opacity painted on the leg catches light in a totally different way for shading.

A fishnet painted on the leg is inferior to an actual fishnet that is a 3d model. As you can see the fish net being elevated on the legs themselves. Since this is VR people can get very close.

The detail on the fish net "netting" is also very low quality on a painted on texture unless you go for 8k texture. Compared to a separate mesh on top of the legs that can use a tile-able 256x256 fish net texture material separately.
