Is it just me who thinks this fixation with the weight of pads is ridiculous?

Once they're on you can hardly tell the difference from one pair to the next anyway. I've never seen anyone get caught at slip because their pad was 70 grams too heavy...

That is not the use case of lighter pads. It is all about the improvement while running between wickets. I made recent switch to lighter/moulded pads - after making 30 odd runs on a hot day, felt really thankful to the light pads, I could feel the difference and lesser fatigue on the legs. Plus, I felt i could run faster (from both light weight and less overall fatigue), so definitely helps in saving an odd runout or two when it comes down to inches.

Because they think they look awful and some people like to think they look good

Yes, the downside is the look (can't beat look of traditional all cane pads) and can feel bulky depending on the model. But lightweight and ease of running is the big benefit. So really up to individual to decide what is important for him. From experience, if you want to try moulded, try for few games at least before deciding as it can take few games getting used to.
