Not all the items can be easily converted to cash. Even with the extended amount of types of items that can be donated this year, it's still hard to resell and convert to cash cheap items, because it's not worth the effort, fees and a backpack space in long term perspective.
Even when converting unusuals there is a risk of item not being covnerted into a currency over a very long period of time because of market instability. In fact, most of TF2 items are pixels that are not worh anything as long as there are no people willing to instantly or automatically trade them for currency at a stable rate. Currency is always backed up by real world money because it's constantly traded at a (somehow) constant rate.
So yea, basically, if 1000 people donate 3 vintage weapons each that would be 3000 inventory slots taken. It takes 27 backpack expanders (27$) to store 60$, plus the efforts and bot hosting and computing time (and an actual time) to sell those 60$ for around 51$ (maybe less? idk what the prices are) of real world money that can be donated.
On the other hand those 3000 slots could be used to store keys or other valuable items that are easy to sell and donate almost instantly.

yeah that makes sense, but the sight literally says "we're accepting so many different kinds of items now that its not even worth it to list them off" so its kinda sad that i cant give my stranges and vintages and such :/
