TF2 lets you mod pretty much anything and by all accounts its cosmetics are still hugely profitable for Valve.

It's not 2012 anymore, 90% of players play casual where sv_pure is always enabled so you can't mod almost anything.

And it doesn't kill TF2 to support and offer the option for both.

Depends on your definition of "kill".

The original pre-matchmaking TF2 experience is dead. Modern casual is nothing like it and often feels indistinguishable from playing vs bots.
