Rambam and Rashi object and state that a minhag may NOT trigger a brachah
Tosafot is predicated on YT sheini which is replete with all the brachot of YT
Rashi and Rambam are predicated upon the Talmud saying no brachah on Aravot which is a minhag N'viim.
Arguments for Tosafot
1. Maybe the restriction is Davqa Minhag N'viim and Strict Construction on that point might allow for brachot on OTHER kinds of Minhaggim
2. Hallel on Rosh Hodesh is like YT Sheini in that these Minhaggim are mei'ein existing halachah, unlike Aravot. Therefore Rashi-Rambam are being too strict, maybe certain minhaggim could have a brachah due to their nature mirroring Halachah.
