For the same reason that DE removed stats from helmets, they're no longer hard-fixing stats to cosmetic items, since it allows players to mix and match their appearances without having to worry about it affecting their min-max builds.

They are reintroducing cosmetic stats as rewards from the 8-Player Raid missions, however they'll be in the form of "cosmetic enhancers" that provide stats you can apply to any helmet or syandana that's desired. At least, that's the stated plan for them.
