I think he would. It’s not about safety, it’s about trying to look like a badass.I wonder what Phil's endgame with the landlord is? Let's say that the landlord showed up Phil's apartment in full PPE (according to Phil's standard). Would Phil still be wearing all that shit? I don't get it.
My armchair-psychology hypothesis is that wearing a disguise, especially a mask, is a comfort thing. He’s very insecure, so a disguise would enable him to feel like he’s escaping from a self he despises. I also wonder if festooning his autistic self with as much tight-fitting mall ninja crap as possible has a physically comforting effect, like a hugbox.
