    Because it is gaudy and impractical, you do not want people grabbing onto your head during battle.

    Because it never occurred to them to do so. It would only ever have been a fashion statement, and the fashion never arose.

    There is little evidence they wore this kind of thing in battle - but it looks rather jolly on fat sopranos in Grand Opera.
