Ultra-thin is typically about reducing distraction and making protection feel lighter in the moment. That can appeal to buyers who want the category to feel less noticeable overall.
Textured options make more sense for people who already know they want more variation in feel and are comfortable making a more intentional choice.
The better option is whichever product feels easiest to use consistently. In practice, that often matters more than whichever feature sounds most impressive on paper.
Fink note
Most shoppers are not choosing between good and bad. They are choosing between different kinds of feel and different levels of familiarity.
