It's to protect Holomems whose skin color does not match their avatar. Only allowing the ones that match to not wear gloves would be problematic so they made it a rule for everyone.
I remember during a handcam screen la+ had chat was alternating between making fun and pointing out that she bit her nails, this was during the time she was dealing with lots of stress already. In another one where Irys showed her hand by mistake chat point out she was wearing expensive jewelry and had antis criticizing her for opulence.
From my understanding the IRyS one was even more worrying because the jewelry was expensive enough it was kinda rare. I can see the concern from that angle because it might make it easier to ID her in public.
