In most cases it's not that these weapons were forgotten, it's just that the manufacturers in-world stopped making them. Splatoon is ardent in its focus on the game world as being a real, living place, and one of the components of that is brands changing, evolving, or even going under as time goes on. Many of these kits came from temporary collabs with non-weapon brands (Kensa series, Soda Slosher), limited run promos by existing manufacturers (Sorella making a camo version of the Tentabrella), or were just outdated products that got phased out over time (E-liter 3k, Bamboozler mk3). Probably the best example of all of this is the Firefin charger, which got outright replaced by the Z+F charger. Advertisements for the Z+F collab are all over Splatoon 3, and have been there since launch - well before they added the weapon and clothes associated with it. In-world it's a big deal, and Firefin wanted to make a point by having their flagship weapon branding show off the new merch. All this to say, many of these "forgotten" kits are just fun examples of the living world of Splatoon in action.
We will never get weapon skins at least not in splatoon 3's lifetime as that would render weapons like the gold dynamo roller not gold if we could just change them
objectively false. The only ones that looked interesting in splatoon 1 and 2 were the third kits, all the others were just stickers slapped on. Like the tentatek splattershot before was just splattershot with some stickers, but the one in splatoon 3 is all pink and has a logo that pops out. The foil squeezer in splatoon 2 had just a small part of foil on it, meanwhile splatoon 3's foil squeezer is all green in addition to that. The kits are in this game way easier to tell apart, and also considering they only add third kits to the game at the end of the life cycle it makes sense that we havent gotten any of the most interesting weapon designs because we havent gotten third kits yet. Once they add them I reckon those will probably be on par.

Would be cool if we got an Ebay- ish second hand market for them. Never going to happen, but still.
They need to bring soda slosher back with fizzy bomb and tacticooler
I still play and the Wasabi Splatter Shot is my main. Always glad to see people remember the first game.

In splatoon 3 all the kit designs are kinda lame in my opinion. they had better designs in splatoon 1 and 2
agreed
