why do we have halloween restricted cosmetics anymore?

honestly its just annoying, we have genuinely good cosmetics like the beep man, isolationist pack, dadliest catch, hundkopf etc but we cant wear them for the rest of the year? so unfair especially because some are pretty expensive (hundkopf=12keys and god knows what the whole set costs)

Because they all mess with the hitboxes and the features of characters. These cosmetics tend to be large which makes it hard to guess where the hitbox is, it is also hard for new players to guess which class is which.

Valve doesn't want f2ps getting good cosmetics for free.

That's about it

Also halloween cosmetics are awful for the artstyle.

Most Halloween cosmetics are restricted as most them don't seem to fit in TF2's base artstyle and/or tend to be larger than the character's own hitbox (or give off the impression that it significantly alters it).

Stuff like the Potassium Bonnet and cardboard pirate mask are unrestricted as you can more easily tell where the character's head is as compared to items like the Hundkoph, bird heads or Hollowhead which make the head look bigger or smaller than it actually is.

Yetis are an exception since they actually exist within TF2's universe. https://youtu.be/Z63Mdfj0n38
(Or at least did exist...)

Probably for the sake of expanding their creative liberties (can't break the art style too much if you keep them holiday-restricted)

But also because of the "werewolf transformation" effect; you'll notice they're not just halloween-restricted, they're also available during Full Moons, and that gives them more of a special exclusive vibe

Because they completely change the shape of the character

There are a few cosmetics I think should have the restriction lifted, like the Chinese Soldier set, however to completely remove it wouldn't be good since there are still a lot of cosmetics that would be really out of place in allowed all year like the bird heads. That said, I also think certain cosmetics that aren't restricted should be, like the spider Pyro head.
