I feel that the retention is way too tight for pocket carry, as you would have to pull the entire thing out, use two hands to pull the mag out of the "sheath" before inserting the mag into the gun.
IMO, there shouldn't be any retention at all.
I feel that the ammo armor is suited for spare mag storage such as in a bag or drawer, rather than on your body for immediate use.

I wear 5.11 jeans that have side pockets between the front and rear pockets that I use to carry my spare mag.

There's an Ammo Armor video that shows a person ejecting an empty magazine, pulling the spare mag in the Ammo Armor out and placing it in the crook of his shooting arm, pulling the mag out and immediately inserting it into the pistol. It looked like a very quick and efficient way to reload that could be mastered with a little practice.

I carry mine in a mag holder on a belt. But I have used mags in various classes that have been thrown in dirt/mud/water/crap/etc. and never had an issue. In addition as part of my job I have been swimming with mags lots. never an issue. I think you are overthinking the problem. I can't imagine a pocket would create an unworkable mag. At least for any common duty mag.

I don't know, it seems a bit more effort than I would want. I figured, if I need to reload my gun during a confrontation, I would want the least amount of steps to get those rounds into the gun ASAP.

I'll tell you what, If you carry a Glock, then send me your address and I will karma the Ammo Armor to you.
It's a well made product, but it just doesn't suit my needs, but it may fulfill yours.

I’ve been using a Remora mag pouch in the pocket. It holds it upright and oriented. I wish I it was thinner, at least on one side toward the leg and that it had nicer rounded corners. It works well for single stack or S&W Shield mags but it adds too much for Glock mags.
