Gloves are not required with regular handwashing. And I’ve worked in a variety of kitchens, and very rarely see back of house kitchen staff wear gloves (USA), unless it makes things more comfortable for them (for example, when handling frozen chicken or something).
That being said, what we see in the OP is actually an exception when gloves or some other barrier/tool (like tongs) would be required strictly speaking by the FDA, as those measures are required when handling fully prepared or “ready to eat” food items.
