But there's one major difference between collectible hats and a collectible card game:
Cards you can battle with.
Thus making cards better than hats, imo. Whether you agree or not, cards still have that added function because you can't have a hat battle last time I checked.

Dunno, in the online world of gaming, most people like to show off/be unique. With retaining that to simply cosmetics, players never feel like they're 'losing', and that they too, can obtain something to show off to others. However with competitive battling like the cards, losers lose motivation fast, especially when gaining those better cards means they have to not lose.
Simply, just because something has more use than being cosmetic doesn't necessarily mean players will prefer it. It just seems to me, personally, what online gaming seems to steer towards.
