Because the filter actually means something in the Matrix. Green for Matrix and blue for real world. In everything else it's just meaningless. Plus it was new at the time and not an overused generic trope yet.

Because the theatrical version didn't have it and that's what most people saw.
The filter was toned down in the latest remasters.
It was relatively fresh idea at the time

Movies have been getting progressively worse, not better, so it makes sense.
The one from Office Space
He gets told this in the movie -- in your one life, you are Thomas A. Anderson, programmer at "A Respectable Software Firm". ARSF.
Movie takes place in 1999. His job is to update code before y2k happens

My headcanon is that it was a consultant agency and Neo was writing Y2K patches for various clients. Just like the guy from Office Space.
