It sounds like someone's putting out false or misleading information to try and make a buck.

Indeed, you're mistaken. Warm knees are happy knees. If you haven't seen anyone riding with leg or knee warmers, the question begs to be asked; where do you ride? Best to ask around like the OP before condemning something that isn't understood.
