Although the linked discussion supposes that these tsurumaki disappeared with the advent of guns, they continued to be worn as a kind of symbolic part of the armour. I wear one when we dress up for displays, a genuine old one.

If you think of the vestigial Gyoyo which hang from the strings above your Dou, and the vestigial fukigaeshi on your kabuto, you will see that some shapes just look better there, preserving the spirit of some ancient function.
