I agree with Lisa that if feel you "need" extra padding in your gloves you might want to evaluate bike fit. But once bike fit is optimized, some of us still seek to maximize comfort. Thus, we add pads in our shorts, insoles in our shoes, in our gloves, etc. It's reasonable. And beyond weight distribution, padding can damp vibration which is a source of discomfort for some.
