Good thread.
I'm a MTGMTT ( most of the gear most of the time ) rider. I do admire people that are disciplined enough to go ATGATT. I always wear a helmet, jacket ( leather or textile), gloves and some kind of boots. On sport rides, long rides and competitions I'll complete the ensemble with textile riding pants and full length boots. I still don't own moto boots , just heavy-duty work boots.
I also am not critical of people who choose not to go ATGATT. I mitigate my risks by being a safe, careful rider but I realize there are always risks. I feel that I balance my risk exposure with a reasonable level of protection.

Unfortunately the riders that take the biggest risks usually choose to not protect themselves adequately from the consequences of their actions.
