If it were up to me every single veterans committee inductee would have their own wing and not be considered a HOFer
There is absolutely no need for this. If you didn't get in when you were eligible thats it.
Can someone tell me seriously why this exists?

The Veterans Committee exists because the baseball writers can be very biased. Seriously, it's common knowledge that writers won't vote for players for the HOF if the players wouldn't give them the time of day. Seriously, where in the criteria for the Hall of Fame does it say that you need to suck up to the writers? The writers should just vote based on the play on the field rather than the extracurricular stuff. One can argue that the Veteran's Committee has better voters because some of them are at least players already in the HOF.
