i mean it pretty much is the case, avatar creators haven't been doing their "thing" as much anymore due to the ever-increasing restrictions, removal of features and amount of stuff that just auto-hides them anyway (trust ranks, performance ranks).
if even putting a gun on a model results in 4 extra material slots being taken up by the performance system in total, there's not much room for other neat stuff without getting questions like "lol y are u in fallback aveter?!?!?!".
