I think you're alone in that judgement. Textiles are nowhere near as good as leathers, they just give you waterproofing.
I doubt you'll listen to anyone else's opinion though, so go on believing that.
You're absolutely right

Why is it that every motorcycle racer wears leather and not textiles?
I've done a bit of racing in my youth and had a few tumbles, my leathers literally saved my skin. How many crashes have you had in your textiles?

Give up dude. Science/reality isn't their strong point.
Just to compound my point I'll quote Wikipedia, which whilst not being the best source is good enough for me. "Top-quality motorcycle leather is superior to any practical man-made fabric for abrasion protection and is still used in racing" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leather).
Leather is more durable and provides superior protection with the negatives of being too hot and not being waterproof. One big fall in textiles and if they're not ruined you threw a 6. Leather will withstand multiple crashes. Valentino Rossi wears leathers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dainese).
I'll not be drawn in to this any more :lol
Opinions are like A**holes, Everyone has one. Some people seem to have more than one though which is a bit odd.
