This really is one of those "what's the right shoe size" arguments.
Exactly.
I definitely wouldn't wear bibshorts if they didn't work better (for me) than other clothing that looks less silly.
Tight-fitting shorts with padding have been worn by cyclists for a very long time - I don't think it's a fashion statement, but just acceptance of what is likely to work well.
YMMV etc etc
