This isn't some rando offline game. You can't collect ever item. I think that's kinda cool that some people are decked out in nifty limited items. If anything it diversifies what you get to see in a crowd, and thanks to limited items you end up seeing more unique things.
I have a feeling your tone would change if new players were given exclusive items not available to already existing players as incentive to join.
