Note that this tag does not apply if the character in question actually does have the body parts to use the items on.

One possible explanation for the oddity is that the "power" of the items is somehow magically infused to the character and thus they don't really use the items themselves. Similar to how magical trinkets usually work, but instead of trinkets this is about the actual items.
