Hood itself as protection

Then take the 5 seconds to put the lens hood on so it functions as a hood! Doh! 🤔🙄🤦‍♂️

Why would I need it unless there's a risk to contaminate or damage the filter in front of lens? Many people completely disregard the use of hood, and they're pretty happy.

Many people actually use the hood instead of a protective filter. It depends on what, exactly, you are protecting against. And it’s a very common discussion that hasn’t been agreed yet 😜
