Seriously though that isnt how mesora is practiced. We dont dig up what was done 150 years ago and mimic that. We do what our religous parents did. they wore sheitels, their poskim held they were allowed we do the same. why did htis change who knows maybe because 150 years ago there was soem gezeira. And I do find it fascinating to study how customs/practice s change, but on practical halacha this doesnt come into play.
As an aside this is why I eat Turkey, my parents were frum and they ate turkey they copied their parents. True at soem point one of my ancestors started eating turkey without a clear mesora, and that is an interesting historical tidbit. MAybe he has to give a din vechesbon on what right he had to eat it. But that doesn’t change today’s practice. (The Netziv says this regarding Turkey)

“All this back and forth comes from a lack of understanding of the purpose of the mitzvah of kisui rosh”
Ok So R’ Moshe didnt understand the purpose of the Mitzva. Nonetheless, as I told you when you used this same argument that a proffessor didnt see the logic, then Baalei Teshuva to whom this doesnt make sense and now it is anybody who points out that you are mistaken (interesting progression btw)
When in fact it is you who are mistaken. That isnt how halacha is decided.
for example when the torah says “לא תקפו פאת ראשכם ולא תשחית את פאת זקנך ” chazal teach us that if not done with a תער/razor it is nt assur. thsi might not be logical to your profesor friend, it might confuse baalei teshuva, and you can argue shaving with sam or scissiors undermines the reason for the issur. You’d of course be wrong.
Again we are not discussing extra-halachic reasons to avoid sheitel (or shaving) whether based on kabbala or extra hiddur. Halachicly sheitels are muttar as has been demonstrated to you repeatedly no matter how illogical you findthe distinction
