First is religious. My second ex refused to let my son dress up, trick or treat or attend any party that was called "Halloween" or anything even close. She sent him to "Harvest Festivals".
Second is monetary. Kids of families that can't afford costumes are marginalized.
A kid could throw a sheet over his head and go as Jeff Sessions. Costs next to nothing.
