Not sure if its a lack of education on the risks or if its more of a "tough guy" mentality of avoiding safety gear.
I'm usually sweaty and exhausted. The goggles keep falling off or steaming up and preventing me from seeing my cuts.
The dust mask makes it hard to breath. I would probably consistently wear one if I was indoors cutting wood though.
Gloves make it hard to quickly grab more delicate things and do intricate stuff - typically a pen and making marks. It's better is super thin gardening (or gorilla gloves) gloves but there is less protection.
It's not tough guy - it's more like I have all this crap to do and I work half speed with all the PPE.
I, too, can write code twice as fast when I play fast and loose with good practice.
(Always regret it though.)
Something like earplugs aren’t as bad as full PPE but it can still be annoying to have to take them off and put them back on.
But they’re getting better and usage is climbing.
