How do they decide Auric cell only cosmetics

How do the developers decide what cosmetic should be Auric Cell only? When I first, started playing I thought it would be like killer and survivor dlcs, where licensed cosmetics would cost Auric cells but everything else could be acquired with shards and cells. Now obviously this was a long time ago but I recently started teaching a new player how to play and was explaining the DLC system. They asked if cosmetics were the same deal as DLCs, too which I answered no, however, they asked "then what is the cosmetic system?"

I responded with "pretty much random. lol". Is that answer right or did I miss some developer post on how they decide?

    Recolor = cells/shards

    Something that players would want = cells

    Basically its down to how many hours it took to make.

    Anything that looks good is usually only cells, with a few exceptions.

    Basically meaning BHVR has no actual system for determining this and they just decide as they go.
