Pros

  • You look really good like a photoshoot model in the sun

  • Infinite hair style options

  • Can wear it up or down depending on your mood

  • Keeps your head and neck and ears warm when it's cold

  • Can be masc or fem or both or neither at your whim

  • Smells nice when you wave it around

  • People like touching it if you want them to and it feels nice

Cons

  • WHY THE FUCK IS IT STILL WET I WASHED IT HOURS AGO WHY WON'T YOU JUST DRY OH MY GOD PLEASE

It's a tough choice tbh

I'm in a very similar boat. I've got the COVID long hair down to my ass and I definitely enjoy how unique it is for my peer group and professional life. I don't have quite the annoyance you seem to have with it, but I still get some. As an otherwise very obviously cishet guy, there's a certain fun to try on just a little gender non-conforming stuff, like when I used to wearing nail polish in high school and college. Like you, I love having this like viking mane that I tame right before I start lifting or something.

But I know I'll never grow it out again. And as a guy well into middle age that still has not only hair, but a full head of it that goes all the way down my back, I feel like I need to live this life for my balding brethren that have no choice in the matter.
