Interesting thing here is that there are already prohibitions on clothing. Facial coverings as already mentioned are one example, but there are also restrictions on minimal clothing, which are again generally more restrictive on women than men. Why is it 'moral' to tell women what they must wear, while deplorable to tell women what they cannot wear?

Some folks here are overthinking these issues. These are the mores of the successful culture in that area. Some of them codified as laws. Some of them enforced via community (e.g. shaming overly sexual behaviors in public that harm family/societal structures, outrage at overt refusal to assimilate, revulsion to female treatment in Islam represented by their clothing, etc).
Regarding more restrictive clothing restrictions for women, there are differences between genders. They aren't equal. The dynamics between the genders is not symmetric, so it's unreasonable to assume expectations should necessarily be equivalent for both genders.
Regarding the burkinis, bring incompatible cultures together, and those cultures clash. When a people with an incompatible culture enter proximity of another culture and refuse to assimilate, don't be surprised when there is war. Diversity + proximity = war
