I wouldn't go far as to call it a gimmick, but I do think it is let's say "advantageous marketing". In all my 50 + years of shooting both film and digital, I like many others,have never  had a camera malfunction because of the weather. I certainly don't base a purchase on weather sealing, but if it's part of the package then what's the harm?
