The whole point of fingerless gloves is to keep your hands warmer than if they were ungloved, but to keep some dexterity.

Concrete example : I’m a (baroque) cellist, and there have been countless times when I’ve rehearsed in super duper cold churches. I can’t possibly play with cold fingers, I lose all precision and control of my hands. Now while fingerless gloves add a bit of bulk btw the fingers, and need some adjusting time when playing, they cut down by a lot the time my hands need to warm up sufficiently to play comfortably.
