Isolating the glutes is good for the posterior chain, both in terms of strength and neuromuscular conditioning (I've no problem with barbell glute bridge raises), and it highlights where you have been relying on hamstrings & overstressing the lower back in other lifts.
Having a chonky badonk is great for runners.

Build your glutes - I'd favour single leg glute bridges and bulgarian split squats. But there is widespread use of weighted hip thrusts in sports conditioning
