Why are some cosmetics sets instead of individual pieces?
I understand most cosmetics that are sets are sets for a reason (being hard to make them separate pieces), but on some cosmetics it's just ridiculous.
The greatest example is in my opinion the Executioner, who has 3 cosmetics that are all sets. The problem is, that it's so incredibly easy to make them separate pieces! The head is clearly the pyramid and does not interfere with any of the bodies on any of the cosmetics, and the weapons are also really easily separatable.
I understand that a reason for this may be that people will have to pay for the whole skin instead of just parts of it, but why not make every skin a set then? The sole reason I refuse to buy a skin for this game, is because the skins I want to buy (for Executioner) are sets. I would still be happy to buy the entire skin for the whole price, but just make some obvious skins not sets.

If licensed outfits are sets or not isn't up to BHVR, it's up to the license holder.

Sure, it could be that, but I don't think we know for sure.

The Silent Hill license holder has stated it’s up to BHVR when asked directly - though BHVR stated it’s up to the license holder on many occasions.
we only know that the license holder gets a set amount of the income for cosmetic purchases and that’s why they are only available for auric cells and they have to agree to anything before it’s available - so they must have accepted the set cosmetics and at least not demanded them to be available individually.

The main given reason for sets being locked is that the pieces are fitted together and designed in such a way that while they look fine together when paired with other cosmetics there can be clipping or visual issues like some parts of the body being invisible. Like some midriff tops look fine in their set, but when paired with cosmetics the exposed tummy bit is invisible.
That's the last thing I remember from the devs as to why linked sets are linked, but I wish they would make less linked sets.
