Why is The Singularity labelend as Hard and not Very Hard?
This Killer is one of the hardest things to get in the game, you have to micro-manage literally everything his power does, deal with EMPs, etc...
Is there a reason for him being labeled as only Hard and not Very Hard?

Probably because you can kind of play him as a set up killer, Wich doesn't work to well but It's an easy way to get value out of your power but still I find him hard so I think he should be very hard but the devs have their reasons I guess

Hillbilly was listed as Moderate well before his buffs. Skull Merchant and Pig are apparently harder than Billy pre-buff.
Not to mention Artist and Knight being classified as "Average" height. Yeah I'd say those two belong in the same category as the Hag.

That rating means nothing and should be removed entirely
Devs never get these things right. Take Tekken for example, Lei in Tekken is listed as "very hard" because he has a massive movelist, but that's exactly why he's easy. Lei players get free rank-ups because no normal player knows what the FRICK Lei is doing and thus can't react to him properly.
Pyramid Head is listed as very hard, but the learning curve to his weapon isn't bad at all. anyone can easily pick this guy up if they've used projectiles in shooter games before.
Trapper is listed as easy but he's actually a nightmare to play past noob ranks and he has to budget his power like no other.

I've seen people argue that the ratings are not how difficult it is to use the power, but how difficult it is to understand its mechanics. But even then I'd rate Singularity as Very Hard because there's so much going on with his biopods and the EMPs and the Overlocked Mode.

no one knows how anything gets labelled

Singularity has by far the highest skill floor of any killer in the game, so I'd definitely rate him Very Hard. BHVR rates the killers by their skill floors in terms of understanding the power and learning how to get the job done with the killer, but learning the basics of Singularity is not easy at all.
That said while the difficulty ratings are better than they were before, some of them should be revisited. Unknown is Hard in my opinion rather than Moderate because you need an understanding of how to break line of sight to prevent survivors from seeing you, and understanding the basics of bounce logic is not easy. Trickster should be reverted to Easy because of how straightforward his power is (albeit his high skill ceiling) and recoil being removed makes him less stressful to play as.
Anyways, how the hell is Skull Merchant Hard?

Those difficulty ratings never made much sense.
Singularity is an extremely complex killer. When you play him there is a lot going on, and managing everything while also progressing your objective should be enough for him to be considered a Very Hard killer.
As @glitchboi said, Trickster is rated Moderate, but except for having to mindful of walls, his power is as straightforward as killers that are rated Easy, like the Wraith.
I don't understand why Freddy is rated Moderate, because being effective with him is actually Hard.

A dev once explained Billy’s placement as moderate. The reason they labeled him as that is because a new player can get decent value out of his chainsaw for mobility alone, so learning the basics is a lot more beginner friendly even if Billy is the hardest to master.
This does contradict a couple of their other killers’ difficulty labels, so I’m not 100% sure but this is just what I’ve heard in regard to Billy.

Those killer ratings have always meant nothing. It's like they're drawn out of a hat.

The same reason BHVR wants to buff the Huntress: They have no clue. 😥

It could be because players can at least use the pods for surveillance, provided they know where to place them. If it is, though, then it's a weak reason. Singularity has a skill floor higher than some killers' skill ceilings. Getting truly good with him requires you to have really good knowledge of maps, the macrogame, and how to get survivors to burn through EMPs as a resource. Aside from Twins, he probably justifies the "Very Hard" rating the most.

Ah yes. I remember this now. Still disagree with it though.
Pig can get good value just by placing a trap on people and not doing anything with it so by their logic she should also be Moderate.
Blight as well can get decent value just using his power for mobility yet he is Very Hard.

I mean these are the same Killer ratings that call Trapper easy lmao
