Venom is wearing it cause the player wants him to wear it, the bandana has no story purpose and it is completely optional, you don't have to make it, you don't have to wear it. It is purely a gameplay mechanic and nothing more.

The bandana has been the staple of the series, there is no MGS game where you could not make the Infinite Ammo bandana. Well, technically, MGS3 doesn't have the infinite ammo bandana, and I definitely know that Portable Ops and Ground Zeroes has zero access to the infinity bandana (in fact, the latter game doesn't even HAVE a bandana). Okay, I will admit my wrong there, but Ground Zeroes is the only game where there is no bandana at all, story or gameplay wise. Though I will kind of argue that Ground Zeroes is still part of MGS V ( I still half expect them to lob GZ together with TPP and use TPP's gameplay in a Substance/Subsistance kind of deal.)
