That is the whole point here: they will be used when they don't have to be, but when it is convenient for the agent. The casual fully unwarranted pepper spraying in Idiocracy was a funny joke until ICE agents started doing exactly that: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tPPQRb9TAhc
Not trivial at all. When you have normal zapper you have to avoid contact with targeted person e.g. holding them with one hand and stunning them with other will electrocute you back. That's why tasers firing electrodes are so common while normal handheld zapper never caught up.
With these gloves you don't even have a reach of a handheld zapper. Suspect can touch your face while you are about to electrocute him via gloves and you will knock yourself from fight. Now imagine that suspect is on PCP so electrocuting him will have limited effect while it will have full effect on you.
