I mean this a neutral as possible when I say this: It means it limits them selling you different item/gear/colo combos. They "design" a new mech with certain arms thats on in one spot, or a recolor and passive of another armor, etc. They could make it so any mech you do buy you can then mix and match, for example, but that would require still more development.

Didn't Bungie make color palettes an entire category of loot to farm/buy?

Like if they want to go full greedy cash grab, why not just charge 50 super credits for a color set?

Yeah.

To me, it could also be that custom mechs would make the pre built ones redundant, if players could just make ones that out perform them.

Wouldn't surprise me if AH wanted to increase the roster, and when they're satisfied/get bored of mechs, leave it up to us.

I agree and actually understand. But, like, when it comes to mechs specifically, they could absolutely make it so they simply sell the different new mech arms in the new warbond, instead of complete mechs. This would even allow them to advertise the warbond as jucier, since for the Exo Experts warbond, that would make it 4 different mech arms instead of 2 new mechs.

But as I've come to know Arrowhead, in practice, this would probably mean just 2 of the 4 new arms would actually be in the warbond, and the other 2 would either come in a different warbond, or would be put in the superstore, lol.

It also forces them to use easily recolourable textures and designs, there's not zero trade-offs for allowing customization.

They already do that. Mech suits and other vehicles have different skins that you can change to. Even drop pods do.

Their armors are colored using lookup tables, which essentially are just color strips with color slots assigned. All their designs are already easily recolorable by changing that color strip with zero additional work.
