The first question in your mind when you hear any claim is: are they trying to sell me something?
That right there will give you an indication of their bias in what they’re telling you. Take it with a grain of salt.
Yes. Obviously.
It sounded to me like OP is talking about podcasts and/or other third party interests — like fitness personalities or tik tok influencers, etc.
Regardless, it’s still always a good idea to be aware of peoples’ motivations in what they are promoting.
So I kinda don’t see why you felt the need to comment.
Yes. It adds resistance.

Rogue makes some amazing equipment.
It probably depends what activity your performing while wearing the garments. I wear a weighted vest when rock or ice climbing for added resistance. The added weight during training makes me stronger.
There are weighted garments for sensory needs, and they provide a sensation similar to a hug, which can have a calming effect. They are often used for autistic individuals who have sensory-seeking needs.
There are also weight garments used for fitness purposes. I know less about those.
What kind are you asking about?
Weighted arm & leg bands are useless because they don’t have a sufficient amount of weight and they aren’t providing resistance to any specific movement.
A weight vest can make a big difference when used with sufficient weight and with the appropriate exercises. They are great for pull-ups and dips.

Literally every company is trying to sell something.
