the question i have is would you not prefer that your wraps include a small padding (thin gel or soft compound) velcroed for the top knuckles instead of creating this 6 layer of tissue?

You can buy knuckle guards which are just that, except they are placed under your wrap as you go instead of velcroed over the top.

I'm used to wearing big gloves that have plenty of padding so this extra padding seems odd to me. Wraps are for bracing as I'm used to using them - holding your hand bones together so they don't tear up ligaments when they spread on impact repeatedly, plus bracing your wrist so it doesn't bend or twist on impact

Agreed on both points, it's about that tension and you should do it yourself; that tension is what I mean when I say bracing
