FYI, a lot of times the gear in the first photo is for the plants' sake, not the worker. Plant cultivation facilities can be like a house of cards, where one little bit of mold, fungus, etc can ruin an entire harvest. Depends on the plants in question, though

And in breeding/science, it's to not get pollen to the wrong plants.

You're literally fucking the plants like some giant pervert bee if you do that.
