The problem is that the crates aren't getting equal 3 month seasons. And instead of just extending Reaper's out until January, they're keeping December as a firm beginning of the seasonal year.

I think that's a bigger issue than the crates themselves. If you want a random system to feel fair, each season needs to have almost exactly the same number of days. Two more or two fewer days won't be a big deal. Cutting nearly a month off one is.

Expectation:
Storm Atronach: December, January, February
Wild Hunt: March, April, May
Dwemer: June, July, August
Reaper's: September, October, November

Reality:
Storm Atronach: December, January, February
Wild Hunt: March, April, May, June
Dwemer: July, August, September
Reaper's: October, November

Now that Halloween is over, nobody seems to want to wear or buy skeletal themed items. I play on console and even there, each season brings dozens upon dozens of people sporting their new goods. This time around, I've only seen a couple of skeletons, 10 max, and one of them is a friend who went for the lime green zombie horse. Another is a dude who regularly visits the Elden Root guild traders and has the blue senche one. Everyone who was excited to see them seems to have vanished.

Really, that's the problem with themed cosmetics. Some can fit multiple aesthetics, while others can't. The others at least have color/colorful effects going for them, so they can match costume styles and dyes, but these? Nerp. With no lich class/race, and very few appropriate costumes, demand tanks after the appropriate season has ended. So it makes sense for them to cut this one short.
