Just saying, he's far from Satan. In fact, I'm not sure if there even is a Satan in the Bayonetta Mythos. However, Rodin is most assuredly Mephistopheles, THE most known pact demon, like in the Faustian legend and such. And so, if Mephistopheles was real and if he'd want to be incognito while keeping a dark ambiance, he'd definitely be wearing a trench coat.

IMO, horns and bat wings and such are more suited to Infernal Demons like the ones we summon in-game. These wouldn't really fit powerful demons like Rodin, the Demonesses and Queen Sheba, now would they? And that's pretty much what makes them alluring and unique than just stereotypical demons with horns and wings. Like Sheba, she has that Babylonian, Indian-ish feel to her that makes her look like a Goddess of Death and Destruction, and Madama Butterfly who looks so different and original compared to, well, the Little Devils and King Zero, who just look classic and dejavu. It's this that makes the demons, and angels, in Bayonetta so unique from our daily perception of what they would look like.

Finally, the trench cost is also Rodin's trademark, so that's probably why PG kept it.
