The way I look at it, the number one reason is for better grip on the wheel and shifting. The second reason is to protect your leather cover on your steering wheel from degrading from the dirt and natural skin oil from your hands. In other words maintaining your interior cleaner.

DD driving, no, since if so cold that I have to put gloves on, the Vet is not leaving the garage instead.
On the track, yes but that is all about if the car catches on fire with me in it isntead.
Way, way back with wood steering wheel, gloves where worn so you would not sweat the finish off the lacquered steering wheel and to give a better grip on the lacquer finish (wearing out a pair of gloves as way cheaper than having to replace the steering wheel instead).
Now a days with leather conditioners, it just too easy to keep the leather steering wheels in shape instead.
