It’s not a waste if its sole purpose for existing is to rot on porches. It’s just a bonus if you can squeeze out another use, like becoming an emergency room curiosity.
Pumpkins are pretty low on my priority list, but entertainment isn’t really a good reason to throw useful stuff away. It’s a waste of water, waste of growing space, waste of fuel for harvest and transportation, and obviously a waste of food.

Wait, why would it become an emergency room curiosity? Ohhhhh, missed that last part. Gourds really are nature’s dildo.
It’s still waste even if the primary purpose is wasteful.
Of all the things to worry about when it comes to waste Halloween doesn’t even scartch the surface for me
Still waiting on someone to talk about how fishing nets are 50% of the plastic in our oceans
Halloween food - no.
Halloween plastic decorations, wrapping, costumes… yeah, we can do without
It’s low priority for sure.
Is entertainment wasteful?
It certainly can be
Golf courses come to mind
Or cruise ships

And people don’t realize just how much growing space pumpkins need!
Technically you can grow them with corn, but the US doesn’t do companion planting so 🤷♀️
Frequently, yes.
Sometimes! I think pumpkins are fairly harmless though
Squirrels seem to eat them IIRC
