He doesn't like how it feels over his hair, especially with the hood up

Possibly Chu Shuzhi and Sha Ya (pre-Merit Brush enhancements) and everyone else don't have the power levels where that restriction would become relevant? Shen Wei's (and Ye Zun's) are definitely off the scale.

(I agree the Regent isn't a reliable data point, though his change in appearance is tantalising.)

"All this is making me wonder how differently the final showdown would have come across if Ye Zun had been in his white suit and ponytail outfit the whole time, lol."

Asdsdfdgshjkdfhgfjdjkl *jots THIS down as a drawing idea* ♡___♡ :D :D (Second one I got from this post in the last few minutes. :D But like REALLY HIGH on the list. xD xD Which doesn't necessarily mean anything - the list is long and ever-changing. xD)

Hah, I'm a simple person - there's nothing that can't be improved with Ye Zun's suit + ponytail outfit in my book. ;D (And I am aware that if I draw something in this vein, you're not exactly the target audience for it, heeee, but I am super grateful for the idea. :D ♡♡♡)
