Even if the cold-weather-warrior doesn't actually need the extra warmth, the textures add a grounded real-world feel to the character that, despite the fact he's probably about to blast his opponent with a ball of magical ice, make Sub-Zero look like an actual person that's fighting his way through the world - not just a cartoonish video game character.
