They were all melee weapons, which are obviously the easiest kind of weapons to make (hence why TF2 is riddled in them.) Every other weapon, including some melee weapons, were reskins!
The game generally needs more balancing amongst the weaponry as it is. I don't mind hats, I don't mind promos. I just want the gameplay itself to have some sort of actual importance to the TF2 team.
All of those are seasonal updates, especially this halloweens, or promo weapons.
Promo weapons have almost always been reskins.
It's because there hasn't been an update as big as a class update since the Uber Update, which was part of a class update.
Manniversary just allowed it to be force more add ons to other updates
(along with other reasons for Valve).
