I think you are being too harsh on MTP, well that or seeing temperate DPM through rose tinted glasses.
It has to be worth remembering that MTP is a jack of all trades pattern and as such is better than DPM in urban environments, better at longer range, better in mild to heavy snow, better against rock or sandy backgrounds.
I too think the '68 colour mix on temperate DPM was better than the last colour mix, but DPM was a compromise too, and would have needed at least three colour pattern options to work well in all seasons in a temperate environment.
I think Brit forces may well go back to a more barrack orientated uniform before too long, as things like untucked shirts aren't ideal in the Brecons in winter
