I'd happily turn everything but default skins off, skins ruin faction identity and make it hard to believe you are fighting as part of a coherent army.
This won't happen though, the people who buy skins want to show them off and won't be happy most of the playerbase won't see it.
I get your point that players want their skins to be seen. That’s why in this idea your squad will always see your cosmetics (and default enabled for the whole game).
The filter is mainly about giving immersion-focused players some control. A free version could let you block 1–2 categories of skin types, while an advanced version (unlocked once you own a few premium skins) would allow multiple categories or even specific skins to be blocked.
This way everyone gets something: visibility for buyers, control for purists, and EA still has a fair monetization path.
