Thanks for the philosophy essay.
I don't think this is a bad mechanic, merely because I don't like it.
I don't like it, because it is a bad mechanic.
Since you are obviously very intelligent and creative, I can't imagine why you didn't figure that out for yourself.
Regardless, I hope this clarifies things for you.

That's right, that's a bad mechanic. There's no 'fun' in changing your clothes to gain some stupid bonus. Changing your outfit to gain passive bonuses is not meaningful 'gameplay'. This mechanic should be removed, as it serves no purpose and does not improve the game.
