  1. Worf had already gotten permission to wear his alteration years ago on file. Ro didn't have permission yet.
  2. Deanna works with civilians, who may not be as open with her if she is wearing a uniform. Again, nothing a little off screen paperwork would clear up
  3. Riker takes a risk to assert his authority with an easy to find infraction to bust her with to let her know he means business.

And Ensigns don't get the privilege of dress code exemptions.

This and a couple other comments in this thread point to an aspect of Star Trek’s world building that hasn’t sat right with me for a long time. It’s supposed to be an utopianistic, egalitarian future. There’s no scarcity or need on Earth so everyone is supposed to be here because they want to be, out of a love of exploration and scientific advancement. So why is there such a disparity in treatment based on rank? Why does an ensign get stuck with a bunk in a hallway while Captain Picard gets a cushy executive suite? O'Brien at least had real quarters to raise his family in, but they were a comparative closet next to the bachelor Captain's. Doesn't seem right to me.

All to say that, in my mind, if an ensign needs to stick to a manner of dress, so should an officer of rank. They're all part of the same fleet and deserving of the same respect.
