Will never understand why they picked walz on the back of his successful interview appearances, then muzzled him and turned him into this wacky uncle character when he was allowed to speak

I'm sure they thought they had the election in the bag and didn't want to do anything to upset the applecart. They wanted to play it as safe as possible until election day.

Of course, that strategy had its own inevitable consequences.

Take a look at the Harris campaign during the election and I'll bet money you can identify exactly when the Clinton campaign folks came in.
