Actually, adding more hats to the game means more models the clients have to precache, and thus the less models mods and maps can use. Hats are solely responsible for breaking maps such as tr_walkway, achievement_turbo, and others. It has even broken cp_steel. If Valve were to, say, increase the model limit (*hint hint*), this wouldn't be an issue.
The concept of hats is not ruining the game, but the technical aspects of hats are.
