I ran in thin running gloves last night. It was -7C according to my phone, probably more like -9C at the frozen lake I ran around. My hands were fine. So you have a point. My circulation from the exercise kept them warm.
Cycling causes a lot more heat lose at the extremities though, and your body just isnt set-up to prioritise protecting them.
