For non chemists just working with standard commercial stuff(Epoxy, UV resin, grocery store cleaning chemicals, and that's about it), various sites and ads give the impression nitrile is "The good default thing you should use"....

Good to know that's not always the case?

There's no one glove type that works for all substances & situations.

Can you get gloves made from PTFE? I feel those would be the closest you could get to an "everything" glove.

Ptfe film and tape is common occurrence. Just wrap it around maybe?

Nitrile is a fine default at home and in the lab if you make sure to change your gloves when they are contaminated. You can also double glove.
