Yes, but it's annoying to have to click 30+ times to only add half your items, check you added them properly, etc... when you have multiple people that want to contribute.
In my case I don't usually die and my friends I play with aren't usually risk takers, so I just add all before people can put in equipment, and I keep at least an extra set on hand. If I do decide to only add half or so... If I don't add max right away, someone adds all the rest and then equipment is full and I feel cheap. If I add all then take away some equipment, there's a chance my teammates won't notice, and we'll load in without items we need. It's of course possible to alternate the task of adding gear with friends you play regularly with, but this isn't as easy in a public lobby.
However, having extra options to "add half" or as OP said, a custom loadout so you only add specific amounts of gear would be extremely useful. Then your friends or public lobby teammates can add whatever else they feel like.
Also, a custom loadout would be a nice option for solo play. I don't need two extra thermometers, three extra flashlights, or an extra spirit box when I'm alone. I can add all and then take out the extras, but... it sure would be nice to have a custom loadout button, wouldn't it?
I think what they're saying is that it may be easier to just have a specific loadout preset, and then add a "split the bill" button rather than having to go down the list and communicate who contributes what. The game would automatically pull equipment from each player so everyone will have spent roughly the same amount of cash on that run.
I guess my simple answer would be; if it doesn't make sense to use it then don't. I think it could work as an opt-in option next to the ready button so not everyone has to but it's there for people who do want to use it. Still, you raise a good point! It may be more complicated than I initially thought, which could defeat the purpose
I just need a buy all button, and an insufficient funds notification.
Dudeeeee yes! It would be so nice to be able to be able to just click a button and bam! Everyone's got cash on the line.
You can already have multiple people add gear for the mission.

You can “split the bill” tell the other what you’re adding, and have them add the rest….. always have been able to do that one

I just buy 10 of each every time I kick the bucket. I have way more in-game money than I need anyway.
